| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
The Public Authority (PA) is affiliated with the County and operates a Registry of qualified providers to help elderly and disabled consumers receive In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS). This Registry provides referral lists of screened and trained providers to IHSS consumers who want to hire a provider to assist them with personal care or domestic services. Potential IHSS providers complete the application and certification process through the PA. This Registry is a referral service and does not fire providers; instead, consumers are responsible for calling, interviewing and hiring the provider of their choice. The PA also provides consumer and provider training, negotiates for Provider wages and benefits, and maintains the Registry.
The proposed action will provide the Public Authority with an operating budget for Fiscal Year 2015/16. In addition, the action will allow the Health and Human Services Agency to submit claims to the State Department of Social Services for continued expenditures of the Yolo County Public Authority on behalf of the Public Authority Director. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| The Department of Employment and Social Services collaborated with the Public Authority in the development of this budget, as well as with the County Administrator's Office. |
