ANALYSIS
CSP has been operating SSP, better known as senior case management, since 1992.
The SSP provides comprehensive, long-term services to seniors 60 years of age and older, that utilize a case manager’s professional skills and competence to serve senior clients and link them to a full range of appropriate services including service coordination, care planning, purchase of goods/services, benefits enrollment, and referral services.
The primary goal is to assist the elderly in maintaining their independence and living in their own homes. The SSP is operated through the Senior Services Unit which also provides long-term services that include the Elderly Nutrition Program, Emergency Meals, and Telephone Reassurance Program.
Los Angeles County AD originally awarded CSP an SSP subaward through a noncompetitive process whereby the City enters into a subaward agreement for a one- year term, commencing July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024, with three additional options to renew annually for an anticipated total subaward term of four years. Baseline funding for the program requires a 12% cash match. Amendment Seven is part of year three of the four-year subaward term and commences July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. No cash match is required for MOCA funding.
SSP MOCA funds are allocated from the State of California to provide assistance of case managers in the daily operations of the program including home visits, case planning, monitoring, contract compliance, invoicing, purchase of goods/service, and data tracking and direct assistance to seniors for case management services. Examples of direct assistance include payment of a utility bill, home cleaning, respite, and purchase of small appliances, clothing, medical equipment/supplies, etc.
SSP assists up to 80 unduplicated seniors sixty years of age and older each fiscal year, with the following senior case management services: initial intake screening, in-home assessment, service authorization, care plan, and connecting to other services. Service areas for SSP include Glendale, La Crescenta, Montrose, and Verdugo City.
The period that MOCA funding is available for use is from July 1, 2025, through February 28, 2026.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
The SSP is part of the Senior Services Unit which operates out of the Adult Recreation Center. Program services are advertised quarterly in the CSP Leisure Guide, CSP Newsletter, on the Department website and social media, and outreach is conducted with community agencies to ensure the public is aware of the available services.
FISCAL IMPACT
Los Angeles County AD awarded the City $95,373 in SSP baseline and MOCA grant awards from for FY 2025-26. $65,100 was appropriated as part of the FY2025-2026 budget process; thus, staff is requesting that the Council appropriate an additional $30,273 from grant revenue to SSP baseline.
