2 t <br /> this Agreement, social work interns, under the direction of the Department's Master Social <br /> Work staff, will visit the complex twice a week to assess residents' needs, as required by <br /> HUD, and make referrals to community resources through the Eldercare Division. Manley <br /> Estates will reimburse the Department at a rate of $15 per resident per month. Since the <br /> facility opened in the latter half of the current fiscal year, staff anticipates revenues for this <br /> fiscal year to be about $1,500. This amount is expected to increase next fiscal year and the <br /> revenues will be included in the department's 2002-03 budget request. This amendment <br /> provides for the receipt of these projected funds (See attachment 1, Column #3). <br /> 4. The Department on Aging has received notification from the National Senior Service .Corps <br /> of a one-time grant of $1,500 to support attendance by the Director at the National Senior <br /> Service Corps Training Conference and the National Conference on Community <br /> Volunteering and National Service. This amendment provides for the receipt of these funds <br /> (See attachment 1, Column #4). <br /> Health Department <br /> 5. The Health Department has received notification from the Office of Minority Health and <br /> Health Disparities, a division of North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, <br /> of a mini-grant totaling $5,000 for FY 2001-02. These funds will be used to support the <br /> implementation of the department's project, "Women to Women". This project will improve <br /> the health of Hispanic/Latino women through utilization of a Spanish health booklet and <br /> Hispanic/Latino lay health advisors. The project also will improve knowledge and skills of <br /> key community women who will share this information with their friends and acquaintances-- <br /> --increasing those women's capacity to assess their own health, create a heightened <br /> awareness of health and human services available in Orange County, and encourage <br /> utilization of needed services. This amendment provides for the receipt of these funds (See <br /> attachment 1, column #5). <br /> 6. The Orange County Partnership for Young Children has awarded $34,352 in Smart Start <br /> funds to the Health Department for FY 2001-02 for the Welcome to the World Program. <br /> First funded in 1999, the Welcome to the World program was the primary responsibility of <br /> EMS. In July 2000, the Health Department began coordinating the program. The program <br /> enables County staff to provide safety-focused home visits to Orange County residents with <br /> newborns. Orange County Emergency Management Services (EMS) paramedics conduct <br /> visits and perform a variety of safety checks, including the location and security of poisons, <br /> the water temperature, crib location and rail spacing, heating appliance location, and <br /> drapery cords. Family Home Visitors with the Health Department also make visits and <br /> provide families with "Welcome to the World" bags. These bags include a first-aid kit, outlet <br /> covers, a healthy child development video, a baby's one-piece sleeper, a toddler book, <br /> water temperature tester and other child health and safety literature. If needed, a smoke <br /> detector, carbon monoxide detector and fire extinguisher can also be given to the family. <br /> While the Partnership was able to fund the Welcome to the World program, it also <br /> decreased funding in other programs within the Health Department. One such example is <br /> the Health Department's Families in Focus program. This program had three Smart Start <br /> funded positions last fiscal year, but for the current year, the Partnership was only able to <br /> provide funding for two positions. To that end, the Partnership has agreed to allow the <br /> Health Department to use the new Welcome to the World funds to reassign a currently <br /> authorized position from the Families in Focus Program to the new Welcome to the World <br />
