The U.S. Corporation for National and Community Service awarded Lutheran Social Services of Southern California (LSSSC) a $281,874 Project Grant under the AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program (CFDA 94.016). This 3-year grant, effective July 1, 2024, will fund LSSSC's Senior Companion Program to engage volunteers aged 55 and older in providing companionship, transportation, respite care, and light chores to enable homebound seniors and individuals with disabilities to remain independent in their homes and communities. The grant includes a $2,500 one-time supplement for training-related travel. LSSSC will provide a 14.88% budgetary match to the 10% statutory match requirement. As a subrecipient, LSSSC has previously used federal grant funding to deliver non-congregate shelter, supportive services, rapid rehousing, and other assistance to vulnerable populations experiencing homelessness.
