|FROM: |Bea Rector, Director, Home and Community Services Division |

| | |

|SUBJECT: |Reallocation of State Fiscal Year 2019 State Funds |

|Purpose: |To request that Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) project their remaining State Fiscal Year 2019 state |

| |expenditures. |

|Background: |Funding is allocated to the AAAs from various funding sources throughout the state fiscal year. Carryover of |

| |state funds is never allowed. AAAs need to determine whether they will spend their entire allocated amounts |

| |of state funds in order to ensure that the maximum amount of available funds are used. |

|What’s new, changed, or |Each AAA will need to decide if they could use additional funds or if they can release some of their |

|Clarified |allocation that is projected to be unspent by June 30, 2019 for the following funding sources: |

| | |

| |Senior Citizens Services Act (SCSA) |

| |State Family Caregiver Support Program (SFCSP) |

| |Kinship Caregiver Support Program (KCSP) |

| |Kinship Navigator Program (KinNav) |

| |Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP) |

| |Senior Drug Education (SB 6088, Section 8) |

| |Home Delivered Meals (SB5736 Nutrition) |

| | |

| |Please note there is no guarantee that additional funds will be available or requests for additional funds |

| |will be granted. If expenditures are projected in excess of allocated amounts, other immediate alternatives |

| |need to be explored. |

| | |

| | |

|ACTION: |Notice of anticipated unspent funding or request for additional funding must be e-mailed to Anna Glaas, with |

| |a copy to your ALTSA Fiscal Specialist and your ALTSA AAA Specialist, by April 5, 2019. |

| |Notice must identify each funding source, dollar amount, and whether the AAA is requesting or releasing |

| |funds. |

| |Include a brief narrative that describes the reason for your request. |

| |If you are requesting additional funds for a program, indicate if funding is currently depleted, as well as |

| |any waiting list and the number of persons on the list. |
