THE SPONSOR FOR THE EASTERN OREGON SENIOR COMPANION PROGRAM (EO SCP) IS COMMUNITY COUNSELING SOLUTIONS (CCS), A 501(C)(3) CORPORATION PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH AND RELATED SERVICES. CCS HAS 150 EMPLOYEES AND ITS MISSION IS TO PROVIDE DYNAMIC, PROGRESSIVE, AND DIVERSE SUPPORTS TO IMPROVE THE WELL-BEING OF OUR COMMUNITIES. CCS IS REQUESTING $142,896.60 IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE EO SCP PROGRAM AND PROPOSES TO SUPPLEMENT THESE FEDERAL FUNDS WITH AN ADDITIONAL $15,844 IN NON-FEDERAL CASH AND IN-KIND SUPPORT. THE EO SCP PROGRAM OF CCS IS CURRENTLY BUDGETED FOR 30 SENIOR COMPANION VOLUNTEERS (33 VSYS), BUT FACING ABRUPT AND UNEXPECTED CHANGES HAS SEEN A DECLINE IN VOLUNTEERS. JOHN BRENNE, LONG-TIME FGP AND SCP PROJECT DIRECTOR FROM 1975 TO 2018, PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY ON JANUARY 22, 2018. HE HAS SINCE BEEN REPLACED BY TERESA E. O?HALLORAN, WHO BRINGS NEW PERSPECTIVE AND ORGANIZATION TO THE PROGRAM. ROBERT BURDETT REMAINS THE PROJECT ASSISTANT AND A VITAL PART OF THE PROGRAM PROVIDING ORIENTATION TO THE NEW PROJECT DIRECTOR. IN THE UPCOMING PROGRAM YEAR, WE PROPOSE A REDUCTION IN VSYS DUE TO THESE UNEXPECTED CHANGES. BY REDUCING OUR VSYS TO 24 IT WILL ALLOW THE FLEXIBILITY NEEDED TO REORGANIZE AND SOLIDIFY THE PROGRAM 25,056 HOURS DURING THE 2019-20 PROGRAM YEAR. CCS CURRENTLY HAS 24 EO SCP VOLUNTEER STATIONS IN MORROW, MALHEUR, UMATILLA, AND BAKER COUNTIES. VOLUNTEER STATION TYPES INCLUDE MULTI-PURPOSE CENTERS (INCLUDING SENIOR CENTERS), CONVALESCENT CENTERS/HOSPICES, AND PUBLIC/CONGREGATE HOUSING, AND HOSPITAL OUTREACH PROGRAMS. THE SCP PROGRAM OF CCS WILL PROVIDE SERVICE TO 240 CLIENTS WITH AN ESTIMATED 25 UNDUPLICATED VOLUNTEERS (24 VSYS). THE EO SCP PROGRAM OF CCS IS BECOMING WELL ESTABLISHED IN THE AREA IT SERVES. WE CONTINUE TO REACH OUT TO ESTABLISH MORE MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING WITH SOCIAL SERVICE ORGANIZATIONS AND HOSPITALS IN OUR SERVICE AREA WHILE AT THE SAME TIME STRENGTHEN EXISTING ONES. WE EXPECT TO RECRUIT MORE SCP VOLUNTEERS IN THE EASTERN OREGON AREAS IN ORDER TO STABILIZE AND ACHIEVE OUR VSY GOAL. THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA FOR THIS PROJECT IS HEALTHY FUTURES WITH THE OBJECTIVE OF AGING IN PLACE. THE SERVICE ACTIVITIES INCLUDE COMPANIONSHIP / TRANSPORTATION / RESPITE SERVICES. COMMUNITY NEED TO BE ADDRESSED: OUR GOAL IS TO ADDRESS THE LONELINESS AND ISOLATION OF HUNDREDS OF FRAIL AND ISOLATED SENIORS WHO COULD USE COMPANIONSHIP AND/OR TRANSPORTATION TO GROCERY SHOP. HUNDREDS OF SENIORS IN EASTERN OREGON HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED (BY SENIOR-SERVING AGENCIES) WHO NEED HELP WITH ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIFE AND ACHIEVING INDEPENDENT SKILLS SO THEY CAN DO MORE FOR THEMSELVES, AS DOCUMENTED BY OREGON STATE AGING AND DISABILITY SERVICES (2013). THE NEED FOR FAMILY RESPITE SERVICES IS ALSO ON THE RISE. MANY FAMILIES CANNOT AFFORD PROFESSIONAL CAREGIVERS OR INSTITUTIONAL ASSISTANCE, AND/OR PREFER TO CARE FOR THEIR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS.
