The Cuyahoga County Health, Human Services, and Aging committee met on October 20, 2021 to discuss a funding increase for the Community Senior Services Program (CSSP). The CSSP program contract, which ends on December 31, 2021, helps to provide funding support for senior centers across the county. The contract amendment would add up to $600,000 to the contract to provide funding for a variety of different services to meet the needs of seniors who have been impacted by the pandemic, including home delivered meals, virtual programming, to-go meals, transportation, and other engagement activities. The Center for Community Solutions wrote about the impact of the pandemic on senior centers in a paper that was published last year.

 A new two-year Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued later this year, to begin in 2022.

Speaking to the contract was Paul Porter, Director of HHS Division of Contract Administration and Performance and Daphne James from the Cuyahoga County Department of Senior and Adult Services. The funding was allocated at the end of 2020 from the biennium budget review, which added dollars in 2021 due to the passage of Issue 33, the Health and Human Services levy, according to Porter and James. A new two-year Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued later this year, to begin in 2022. It will have one option year, according to Porter. This contract was unanimously passed under second reading suspension.
