8-Appendix D – Contract Budget Workbook – Home-Delivered Nutrition.xlsx

This is a Contract Budget Workbook for Home-Delivered Nutrition Services prepared by the Delaware Department of Services for Aging and Adults with Disabilities (DSAAPD). The document serves as a budgeting template for meal agencies providing home-delivered nutrition programs to older adults, specifically designed to calculate unit costs for different meal types including regular meals, emergency meals, and medical/therapeutic meals. The workbook is structured to accommodate multiple meal types and contract periods, with sections for detailed cost breakdowns and validation of planned service units against available funding. The contract period referenced in the template is dated 12/31/99, though the document was revised on 8/1/2023.

The budget workbook itemizes all allowable cost categories for home-delivered nutrition services, including staff salaries, fringe benefits, travel (mileage at $0.40 per mile), training, rent, utilities, phone and internet, insurance (liability and auto), nutrition counseling, dietician services, equipment, office and paper supplies, medical supplies, raw food, and vehicle expenses. The document establishes a unit cost calculation methodology and includes validation sections for tracking funding from multiple sources: Supplemental Security Income Block Grant (SSBG) funds, Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III-C-2 funds, project income from donations, and DSAAPD direct funding. The template includes reconciliation between planned service units, projected funding requirements, and available resources from both state and federal sources, with built-in error checking to ensure budget alignment across home-delivered and congregate nutrition programs.
