The Office of Senior Services is pleased to present the Genesee County Senior Millage 2012 -2013 Annual Report to the Genesee County Board of Commissioners. This report provides information regarding the 2012 -2013 Senior Millage services and the senior citizens who utilize them. For 2012 -2013 the Genesee County Board of Commissioners awarded contracts totaling just over $5. 9 million to area senior centers and senior service providers. When the Senior Millage passed in August of 2006, the Genesee County Board of Commissioners established the Senior Citizens Services Advisory Committee (SCSAC), now consisting of four Commissioners and eight citizens. The Genesee County Office of Senior Services (GCOSS) was started as a county department in January 2011. The Senior Citizens Services Advisory Committee and the Office of Senior Services oversee the senior millage dollars to area senior centers and contracted service providers to ensure quality services and programming. The SCSAC makes funding recommendations to the Genesee County Board of Commissioners. At the beginning of the 2012 -2013 fiscal year, the SCSAC announced that the Alzheimer’s Association was awarded the contract for case management and referral services for the county. The Senior Millage also included the Genesee County Department of Veterans Services to receive funding for this year. A specialized veteran’s millage was passed in November 2012 and the funding from the senior millage ended on December 31, 2012. The Board of Commissioners reinstated funding to the Legal Services of Eastern Michigan and offered five specialized grants to non-profit organizations of which two were awarded. Recipients of these grants were the Senior Companion Program and the Foster Grandparent Program from the Family Service Agency. Each program was awarded $1, 000. During the last quarter of this fiscal year the Center for Gerontology adult day care program closed on June 30, 2013 and the City of Flint Senior Centers piloted outsourcing the centers to non-profit organizations. The Brennan Elm Park Senior Community Corporation and the United Senior Network now manage the day to day operations at the two centers. Michigan Community Services, Inc. opened a new adult daycare in August of 2013 and will continue to provide adult daycare services in FY 2013 -2014. We encourage you to contact the GCOSS at (810) 424 -4478 or www. gcseniors. org to learn more about services that are provided.
