Background: The City of San Bernardino is the only agency in the County qualified to provide Senior Companion Program (SCP) services. Any government or non-profit agency could apply to become an administrative agency for SCP services, however that would require the funding of a full time director as well as ongoing administrative support and office space. Unlike the city's SCP program, there is no federal or state funding available to cover these costs. Through a state grant, the San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department has provided SCP services to outlining areas of San Bernardino County, including the cities of Hesperia and Victorville, the Town of Apple Valley, and the County of San Bernardino, Department of Economic & Community Development, for the past (3) years. The state funding will be withheld starting in April of 2003. In light of this, these agencies have requested the San Bernardino Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department to use portions of their allocated Community Development Block grant funds to continue SCP services in their jurisdictions. The program serves two groups of senior citizens: (I) It provides for low-income persons 60+ years old an opportunity to remain active and serve less fortunate peers while receiving a small non-taxable stipend to supplemcnt their limited income.(2) It provides for those senior adults who are alone, isolated, disabled, or Ii'ail to choose to remain in their own homes instead of being placed in cxpensive institutional facilities. The projected funds trom these four grants would generate the following dollars Jurisdiction City of Hesperia - Town of Apple Valley - County of SB (ECD)- City ofVictorville- Fundin!! Level $ 19,884 19,500 83,500 19,884 Purnose of Fundin!! 3 Companions 3 Companions 8 Companions 3 Companions Recommendcd Funding $142,768 17 Companions* 02/10/032:47 PM *These companions will be paid through the CDBG grant funds and are not considered part of the City's payroll system. The City currently manages a SCP grant to provide services to local seniors. These grants will serve seniors residing within these four other jurisdictions. Many of them are frail, isolated, and disabled seniors in these areas of the County that are at risk of premature institutionalization if they do receive personal, in-home services. More than 33% of the total population are seniors and this number is growing rapidly due to the aging baby boomers. The City has provided SCP services to its senior citizens for the past 29 years (since 1974). SCP recruits, trains, and assigns cligible volunteers to provide in-home services such as grocery shopping, meal preparation, transportation to doctor appointments and to pick up medicine, provide companionship, reading, writing, assisting with home management and establishing a trusting, caring relationship. There is another very important bene lit of this program: it is very economical. The annual cost for one Companion is approximately $4,000. One Companion serves at least four (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 taxpayer at a cost of $40,000 each per year, if the cost-effective Companion services were not available. Financial Impact: No additional financial impact to the City of San Bernardino as the Parks existing budget already has enough funds included covering the in-kind items needed to administer these four grant programs. No more than live hours of City staff time is projected per calendar quarter in processing the stipend claims. These staff hours are funded through the SCP trust account and not the general fund.

Please note that federal regulations limit the use of CDBG . funds for public services to 15 percent of the County's grant. '. , ImDortant: 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 CDSG 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, If mor~ space is needed, attach separate sheets, \ Submit one(l) signed proposal in hard (paper) copy, only to the address shown at the bottom of page 5.

DETAILED PROJECT DESCRIPnON (Continuation of Section B, Project Description, Page 1 of 5) Within the space provided on this page, proVide detailed information needed to fuily describe the proposed public service, its purpose and its beneficiaries. Please attach applicable maps, plans and brochures. Attach additional sheets if needed. The Senior Companion Program was fanned 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 t8 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 AJzheimer'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 of helping 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.

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.D. 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. -) ~ (':?7:',;J=---~(a..~ Betty A.
