STAFF REPORT
The Senior Companion Program is one in which low income seniors serve as companions
for frail elderly or disabled to help them remain in their own homes or return to
their own homes, thus avoiding institutionalization, The Senior Companions are
volunteers who, because they are low income, receive an untaxed stipend of $2.20
per hour plus help with lunch and transportation. This enables low income seniors
to serve as volunteers, thereby keeping them active and in their own homes as well
as the clients they serve,
The city is required to provide a local match which will include $8,000 cash and
$5,000 van maintenance and upkeep funded through the General Fund budget for adminis-
trative services, in-kind city contributions such as office space, utilities,
custodial, recognition, accounting, etc" and contributions from the community for
meals, services and donations.
This is an indefinite program which is renewed annually,
