Project Grant 24SCICA003

This federal Project Grant award of $200,263 from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management funds the 2024-2025 Senior Companion Program (SCP) under CFDA 94.016. The SCP engages volunteers aged 55 and older, particularly those with limited incomes, to provide critical support services to homebound seniors and individuals with disabilities. These services enable vulnerable populations to remain independent in their homes and communities by offering companionship, transportation assistance, respite care, and light chores. The award has an approved completion date of June 30, 2027 and requires a 10% statutory match and 55.73% budgetary match from the awardee, Central County United Way, a minority-owned non-profit organization based in Hemet, California. This grant award also includes an additional $2,500 in one-time funds for travel related to volunteer training in FY 2024.
