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.
CSP was originally awarded an SSP subaward from Los Angeles County AD 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 Nine is for the fourth year of the four-year subaward term and commences July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
SSP baseline funds are allocated from the Older Americans Act to provide funding for the daily operations of the program, including case manager home visits, case planning, monitoring, contract compliance, invoicing, purchase of goods/service, data tracking, and direct assistance to seniors for case management services. Examples of direct assistance include payment of a utility bill, purchase of small appliances, home cleaning, clothing, respite, 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.
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; reports are provided on the progress of the program to the City of Glendale’s Senior Services Committee; and outreach is conducted with other community agencies to ensure the public is aware of the available services.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City was awarded $66,129 in SSP baseline grant awards from Los Angeles County AD, which was included as part of the FY 2026-2027 budget process.
