AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Ratification of Contract# ^ ^�9 AA 659 between the
Alliance for Aging, Inc. and Monroe County Board of County Commissioners that reflects a new
grant agreement for the contract period of 01/01/2026 - 12/31/2026 and provides an award in the
amount of$706,269.92 sourced from Older Americans Act funding, with a required County match
of ten percent(10%). This ratification authorizes the earliest possible effective date of the grant
agreement to facilitate funding and reimbursement.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The United States Congress originally passed the Older Americans Act
(OAA) in 1965, and it was subsequently amended in 2020. As a result of the OAA, the State of
Florida's Department of Elder Affairs receives federal funding that is passed down to local
communities through designated area agencies on aging. The designated area agency on aging for
the planning and service area 11 (PSA-11), inclusive of Monroe County, is the Alliance for Aging,
Inc. Annually, the Alliance for Aging, Inc. provides grant funding to the County through yearly
OAA Contracts. Pursuant to the grant agreement, Contract# ^ ^�9 AA2659, grant funding is
made available to the County on a reimbursement basis and such funding is non-reoccurring, and
may only be used during the contract term. The County must provide a local match of at least 10%
of the cost for services funded through the contract, except for OAA Title IIID (Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion Services). This year, the County is eligible for $706,269.92 in reimbursable
expenses.
Staff requests that the BOCC ratify the earlier signature of the County Administrator in order to
facilitate and enable the County's reimbursement as of the earliest date allowable under the grant
agreement.
The OAA program's primary purpose is to foster coordinated systems to serve older individuals
and their caregivers in attaining and maintaining maximum independence at home with supportive
services. This prevents premature nursing home or assisted living institutionalization and improves
quality of life for older individuals and their family members countywide.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: In the past, BOCC has approved numerous OAA
grant agreements. Most recently, on October 15, 2025, BOCC approved item 04, the 4th
Amendment to Contract 4AA-2529, which was the OAA grant agreement equivalent for 2025.
