AGING SERVICES 2021-2022 CONTRACTS | | | |
| | | | | | | | Background | H-GAC is the Area Agency on Aging for 12 counties in the region (Harris County not included). Each year we contract with community organizations to provide nutrition, transportation, and direct services – such as personal assistance, respite care, residential repair, health maintenance and promotion, and emergency response – for individuals aged sixty and older. |
| |
| | | | | | | | Current Situation | At its August 2021 meeting, the Aging & Disability Advisory Committee approved the attached recommendations for 2022 contracts, as well as amendments increasing funds to selected 2021 contracts.
- We received supplemental funds from the Health and Human Services Commission for the current contract year to provide additional direct services. The contractors recommended by the Advisory Committee have the capacity to provide additional services and have met or exceeded program performance this year. We propose adding a total of $203,877 to these selected 2021 contracts.
- We have also received a larger than usual allocation for the 2022 contract year and the Advisory Committee recommends continuing funding for existing contractors all of whom have performed satisfactorily. Total funds for 2022 are 14.8% higher than the current year.
Attachments A and B summarize the recommendations to amend the 2019 contracts as well as the recommendations for 2020 contracts. |
