Forsyth County Announces Availability of Grant Funds

Forsyth County announces the planning for availability of Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) funds for the state fiscal year beginning July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2020. Funding is dependent upon the availability of state and federal funds. This available funding is to provide any of the HCCBG services.

The HCCBG was designed to establish an efficient and effective service delivery system for meeting the needs of a rapidly growing older adult population. HCCBG was designed to address the complexities of fragmented service delivery systems by consolidating, under a single set of policies, procedures and service requirements, several existing funding sources targeted to serve and support older adults. A link to the HCCBG Procedures Manual can be found at http://www.ncdhhs.gov/aging/manual/hccbg/hccbg.htm.

Any public, private-nonprofit, or for-profit corporation is invited to apply. If you are interested in applying, all paperwork and applications must be submitted by May 13, 2019 at 5pm. All questions regarding the application process should be directed to Evelyn Smith, Aging Program Planner with the Piedmont Triad Regional Council Area Agency on Aging 336.904.0300 esmith@ptrc.org. Application materials are available on the Piedmont Regional Triad Council website at https://www.ptrc.org/services/area-agency-on-aging/documents-downloads.
