referrals to housing programs that exist within the continuum of care,

including Project Roomkey and/or Homekey, etc., and any outcomes

that may validate the justification for a Senior Safe Home Pilot;

sites are needed, and identify the operating costs of the sites; and

coordinate with the Chief Executive Officer, through its Real Estate

Division, to find available properties that meet the defined criteria,

which could be used to establish the County Senior Safe Home Pilot;

With the goal of piloting a Senior Safe Home within the County, the

Director of Aging and Disabilities will develop a funding

model/template (Roadmap) to replicate the Pilot throughout the

County and local municipalities, with the Roadmap to focus on the

following:

Equity, inclusion, and best prevention practices for older adults

from older adults with lived experience;

Engagement and partnership with local municipalities that want

to replicate this work to ensure that logistical best practices and

guidance are shared and there are shared resources between

cities and the County; and

Projected financial costs and any potential external funding

sources including but not limited to, APS’ sheltering programs,

Home Safe funding, public-private partnerships, or any

additional funding streams that provide wraparound/case

management services for survivors of elder abuse;

Collaborate with the Directors of Health Services, Mental Health,

Public Health, and Public Social Services, and local jurisdictions, on

the feasibility of developing a memorandum of understanding to

identify funding sources that provide supportive services/case

management/ long-term case management (wraparound services),

and for this population to ensure a Senior Safe Home in each Service

Planning Area is available to County residents including, but not

limited to, Area Agency on Aging funding, Home Safe funding, and

other funding streams that may exist to serve this vulnerable

population in an equitable way, and outreach and awareness of

wraparound services including, but not limited to, In-Home Supportive

Services and possible housing subsidies; and

Identify potential funding opportunities and appropriate staffing levels

for Fiscal Year 2024-25 to establish an Older Adult Homeless section

within the Department of Aging and Disabilities, where this section

will be the champion for change with older and dependent adults who

are at risk of homelessness and are homeless within APS, and

position(s) dedicated to this work should be considered as part of the

emergency homeless declaration so that the Department of Aging

and Disabilities can obtain and expedite onboarding staff to address

this homeless population immediately. (24-1021)
