BACKGROUND
Gaston County will receive $1,057,828 in Home and Community Care Block Grant funds for FY2018-2019 to provide support services to older adults. There is a Gaston County Commission appointed Home and Community Care Block Grant Advisory Committee whose responsibility is to approve the recommended use of these funds. The Home and Community Care Block Grant Advisory Committee met on March 13, 2018 to approve the best use of these funds. The Gaston County Health and Human Services Board reviewed the plan and voted on May 3, 2018 recommending approval of this funding plan. The Home and Community Care Block Grant Advisory Committee and the Gaston County Health & Human Services Board approved the FY2018-2019 funding plan, which allocates funds as follows: In-Home Aide, $613,494; Congregate Nutrition, $130,102; Home Delivered Meals, $200,554; Transportation, $63,678; and Adult Day Care, $50,000. The funding of this allocation, as well as the County’s requirements, is included in the Department of Health and Human Services FY2018-2019 Proposed Budget. (Note: In the event the grant funds expire, the County shall not assume budgetary responsibility for the program or any personnel associated with the program.)
