PENMAN, City Attorney f-/ 01/31/0312:08 PM 2003-57 COUNTY OF SAN BERNARDINO DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 2003.2004 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) PROGRAM - PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAM PROPOSAL. Log Number (Office Use Only) Public service programs involve the use of CDBG funds to pay the non.construction costs of providing new or expanded services such as: graffiti removal, social services, transportation services (in support of qualified social services); employment, housing. legal, health and education services; and blight abatement. Please note that federal regulations limit the use of CDBG funds for public services to 15 percent of the County's grant. Important: In Past years, the County has not specified how small that CDBG grants can be. Grant awards have ranged from $600 to $60,000. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently notified the County that the costs associated with subrecipient oversight of small grants far exceed the actual grant award. Further. HUD recommended that the County increase the minimum grant awards in order to justify the administrative burden. Consequently, ECD now strongly encourages CDBG awards of $5,000 or more per city or unincorporated community to be served, and will use this new grant minimum in making its recommendations for approved projects. See page 4 of 5 for more details. Carefully read through the instructions and proposal forms. Answer all questions. which are applicable to your project as specifically and completely as possible.

Please attach applicable maps, plans and brochures. Attach additionai sheets if needed. The Senior Companion Program was formed by U.S. Congress in 1974 with a two-fold purpose: I) utilizing low-income seniors (60 and over) to provide 20 hours per week of personal in-home services tB adults who need help with activities of daily living while supplementing their incomes with a tax-free "stipend" payment and 2) allowing low-income, handicapped, disabled or frail elderly persons to remain in their own homes instead of living in expensive institutional settings. Services provided include meal, preparation, transportation to medical appointments, grocery-shopping, reading, writing and providing much needed companionship. In many cases, the Companion is the only contact the client has with the outside world. This link has proven to be most beneficial to the well-being of the clients and prevents or delays institutionalization. Companions also provide respite to family members who give 24 hour, 7 days a week care to loved ones with Alzheimer's Disease, other forms of dementia, stroke, etc. This service is extremely important and appreciated by the caregivers, and has proven to prevent abuse caused by overstress on the provider trying to meet all the needs of the afflicted client. Benefits to the Companions. besides the tax-free stipends, include lunch reimbursement, mileage, training, insurance, recognition and the reward ofhelping others. It has been proven that Senior Companions live longer and stay healthier than their peers who are not active. There is another very important benefit of this program; it is so economical. The annual cost for one Companion is approximately $4,000.00. This one Companion serves at least 4 clients every week. Most clients are Medi-Cal eligible and therefore would be covered for convalescent hospital residency, which would be paid by the taxpayers at a cost of $40,000 each per year, if the cost-effective Companion services were not available. $4,000 per year per Companion versus $40,000 x 4 clients per year certainly makes economic sense: spending $160,000 or $4,000 a year leaves only one sensible decision.

FAX (909) 388.0929. C/Data/CDBG Application - E-version 1017/02/mh 5 of 5 2003-57 Grantee Information The City of San Bernardino's Parks, Recognition and Community Service Department is the only Senior Companion Program grantee in San Bernardino County. The original grant from the Federal Government began in 1974 and serves not only San Bernardino, but surrounding cities, including Highland, Redlands, Loma Linda, Colton, Rialto, Fontana and Yucaipa. Three years ago a $98,902.00 State Grant (through the S.B. County Department of Aging & Adult Services) was also awarded to this sponsor to serve Victorville, Hesperia, Apple Valley, Adelanto, Crestline, Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms. The office and staff are located in San Bernardino; therefore there are no additional administrative costs. The City's Finance Department handles all the fiscal reports. The office space and record-keeping are provided as an in-kind match to all grants, thus eliminating rent, added staff costs, etc. In 2001 the State funding was cut to $78,807.00. And now we are facing total elimination of these funds as the Governor tries to overcome the $35,000,000,000.00 budget deficit. The beneficiaries of this cost-effective program would face forced institutionalization without their in-home personal care. We earnestly ask for your assistance to keep this valuable program operating in the 8 outlying areas indicated on page 4. This population is in need of so many services, being spread throughout the county with little or no transportation and very low incomes. We look forward to attending the various public hearings. Thank you for your consideration. Please feel free to contact us at 909-384-5413 if you have questions. ~ L'-:~ct t) (' G:1.C 1/ --.... t>t-- --. ~ '~'0~ -1 ~- Betty A.
