12. Project Specific Narrative: Provide a narrative description of the specific activities to be carried out with the requested funds. This should also include program objectives and key priorities for each specific jurisdiction.
The goal of PVI Meals on Wheels is to increase food security and access to nutritious food, keeping older adults and adults with disabilities well-nourished, healthy, and living independently in their own homes. PVI MOW is the sole provider of Meals on Wheels in South San Francisco.
Specific objectives 1) MOW supports healthy aging in place, delivering five nutritious meals weekly to homebound, isolated older adults, many of whom are frail, recovering from hospitalization, or are disabled. 2) MOW increases food security and access to nutritious food by providing home-delivered meals with additional meals provided for holidays and weekends to in need clients. The meals provide at least one-third of an older adult’s daily recommended nutritional intake and are prepared with strict nutritional oversight. 3)MOW increases knowledge of, and referral to, health and long-term services and supports. Additionally, MOW reduces isolation through the faceto-face deliveries made by a caring driver who also conducts well-being checks. The MOW team conducts assessments upon enrollment followed by quarterly re-assessments, with referral to other resources as appropriate. During COVID restrictions all initial intakes and reassessments have been conducted by phone instead of in person.
13. Assessment of Need - South San Francisco: Briefly describe how you determined the need for your program for each specific jurisdiction that you are applying for funds. Identify target population(s) and area(s) served.
Please state the source(s) and date(s) of information. Identify any similar programs in the community.
PVI Meals on Wheels provided 17,000 home-delivered meals to 119 qualified South San Francisco clients in FY2021, documented in the PVI ServTracker system. Seniors and people with disabilities have been greatly impacted by the COVID pandemic, increasing food insecurity and isolation. The resulting need for the most vulnerable to stay at home, has increased demand. County-wide, during FY21, PVI MOW served 1,045 individuals with 178,886 home-delivered meals, an unprcedented number.
San Mateo County has an older population compared to many other California counties, and seniors continue to desire to age in place. 17% of South San Francisco’s population are seniors, over 10,000 individuals, 5% of the city’s population is living with a disability and 7% live in poverty. (U.S. Census, 2020) For Meals on Wheels, 2/11/22, 11:20 AM City Data Services - South San Francisco https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2022arc.pl?rpt=C10823&prop=131 3/6 although there is no income limit, meal recipients in San Mateo County are predominantly low-income. 93% have household incomes below $50,000 a year, 76% have household incomes less than $35,000, and 67% have household incomes below $25,000, while the median income in South San Francisco is $105,459. By the year 2030 in San Mateo County, 1 out of 4 residents will be over 65; the number of adults over 65 will increase by 72%, the number of people over 85 will increase to two and a half times the current number. (HUD, State of California, San Mateo County, U.S. Census 2020). The demand for Meals on Wheels will continue to increase.
14. Timeline: Provide a brief timetable for project implementation and achievement of projected goals and how you plan to expend your funds in a timely manner by the end of the fiscal year.
PVI Meals on Wheels in an on-going program, with many recipients remaining on the program for many years. The CDBG funds will be used to help sustain the program for South San Francisco clients. During the last fiscal year, 119 South San Francisco residents received home-delivered meals through PVI MOW. PVI Meals on Wheels has been in operation since 1977.
15. Evaluation: Briefly describe how you will determine and measure the success of your program and whether or not program goals were met? If your program is currently receiving grant funds please describe accomplishments of goals to date.
Program success will be measured by numbers of South San Francisco clients served, how many meals are delivered, and re-assessment of need every six months, confirming that they remain living in their own homes. An annual survey of clients will be conducted to determine if other program goals are accomplished, including selfreporting on if the program has helped to improve their health and if being on the program has an impact on the nutritional value of the food they eat.
Year to date, 78 clients have been served and continue on the program, with 11,000 meals delivered.
16. Collaboration: Describe partnerships with other organizations/agencies, the nature of the partnership, and how it relates to the proposed project.
PVI collaborates widely and strategically. Sequoia Healthcare District and Peninsula Health Care District assist financially in serving residents of their respective districts. San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services contracts with Meals on Wheels and Rosener House for Older Americans Act funding. The City of Menlo Park provides some financial assistance to PVI programs, and the City of Redwood City assists with Meals on Wheels. Meals on Wheels partners with the Meals on Wheels Association of America, Facebook, the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, San Bruno Community Foundation, the City of Colma, the Jewish Community Federation, and various local and national foundations. Organizations providing financial assistance are critical to the sustainability of MOW.
A collaboration with the Second Harvest Food Bank provides donated food items to MOW. A collaboration with the Samuel Merritt University nursing program provides additional help with assessments and phone calls for MOW clients. All these collaborations increase our homebound clientele’s access to various social services throughout the county and directly support their ability to remain living independently in the community.
17. Impact: : Discuss any general trends and conditions that have affected or impacted your service levels or service populations. For New Applicants – describe what these funds would allow your agency to do that you may not be able to do now. For Continuing Applicants – describe how your program would be impacted without these funds.
The most significant trend to affect Meals on Wheels is the increasing population of seniors and their desire to age in place. The COVID pandemic has amplified this trend of desiring to remain in one’s home. MOW is often the only thing enabling clients to remain in their homes rather than needing to move to costly higher levels of care such as assisted living or nursing homes. Some clients receive weekend meals with their Friday meal as they lack support and are most at risk of malnutrition. The average age of Meals on Wheels clients is 85, and many have several chronic health conditions.
Without the South San Francisco CDBG funds, it would be more difficult to serve all the seniors and adults with disabilities in need of the MOW service. It would also be more difficult to leverage funds from other sources.
18. Project Beneficiaries/Quantifiable Measurement: Indicate the expected number of beneficiaries to be served by the program. For each response below please indicate both the number of households and number of individuals. Refer to the San Mateo County Income Limits. a. Indicate the total number of low-income beneficiaries you expect to serve with this program for each jurisdiction application for funding. *Low-income is 80% of Area Median Income or below.

b. Based on the percentages that you indicate your organization served describe your efforts to improve affirmative outreach to groups that may be underserved by your program and the result of your efforts:
PVI Meals on Wheels serves seniors and people with disabilities who apply for the program and qualify under the criteria set by San Mateo County Aging and Adult Services for federal Older Americans Act funding, that is, that they are 60 years old or over, or they are under 60 and disabled, AND they cannot shop or cook for themselves and have no reliable help to do so. Outreach is conducted through social workers, faith congregations, media outlets, and by direct mail. Meals on Wheels staff includes people who speak Spanish. PVI will continue to work to improve outreach to undeserved communities to help make more people aware of the services of Meals on Wheels.
21. Leveraging: Describe your fundraising efforts and additional sources of revenue for this project and your organization. Please state whether any of these fund sources are already committed and in what amount.
Before the COVID pandemic, PVI held three annual fundraising events during the year, the annual Dine-Out for Meals on Wheels where local restaurants would share a percentage of their income for one day with Meals on Wheels, the annual Author’s Salon, with a luncheon and noted authors as speakers, and the Baubles, Bangles & Bags luncheon and auction. These in-person events were either cancelled or moved on-line with limited success, with a return to in-person for an event in November 2021, which raised over $100,000 for MOW.
The contract with Aging and Adult Services for Older Americans Act funds is a major source of income for MOW, with a contracted amount for this year of $1,106,750, covering about 60% of the MOW expense. Donations from other funding sources this year include the Sequoia Healthcare District ($100,000), the Peninsula Health Care District ($75,000), Woodlawn Foundation ($35,000), San Bruno Community Foundation ($25,000). 2/11/22, 11:20 AM City Data Services - South San Francisco https://www.citydataservices.net/cities/smatca/app2022arc.pl?rpt=C10823&prop=131 5/6 Staff List
