NARRATIVE
The initial activities of the California Commission on Aging can be traced to Governor Earl Warren's
Administration as the Inter-departmental Coordinating Committee on Aging. In 1955, this Committee gained
statutory authority and was renamed the Citizens Advisory Committee on Aging. In 1966, this Advisory body
became a Commission and was designated as the State Agency responsible for administering the applicable
provisions of the Older Americans Act enacted by Congress in 1965.
The Commission was placed within the Department of Human Resources Development with its creation in late
1969. The Commission now functions from this position within State Government.
The Older Americans Act, the State Plan for Programs on Aging under Title III of this Act and Section
18300 - 18356 of the Welfare and Institution Code provide the statutory and administrative guidelines
within which this Commission functions.
The Commission is advisory in character with certain administrative authority. To advise the Executive
Branch of Government as to the status of aged Californians and to recommend action is clearly a Commission
responsibility. To provide technical assistance and consultation to municipalities, counties, senior
organizations, agencies, local committees, commissions, councils, business, industry, and labor in developing
programs for the aged is another responsibility. To define and coordinate the efforts of State Government in
the field of aging SO that timely, effective and efficient use of resources for 1,800,977 senior Californians
will result in another function. To perform as a clearinghouse for information on the subject of aging is
also assigned.
2
With the approval of the Human Relations Agency and the Department of Human Resources Development
the Commission is designated as the state agency with responsibility for directing all federal
programs in aging, which are not specifically assigned to another state department under federal
law or by the Legislature.
CURRENT PROGRAMS
Administration on Aging (AoA)
Older Americans Act of 1965, As Amended
TITLE III
Within the provisions of Title III of the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended, the Commission
possesses granting authority to fund state and community programs on aging. Activities relating
to community planning, coordination, and training of special personnel are reviewed for funding
potential. The establishment of new or expansion of existing local aging programs are eligible
for funding consideration through Title III. Community programs most commonly include information
and referral, health, welfare, individual or group counseling, leisure time activities, employment,
and housing referral, nutrition, and adult-education components. The multi-purpose program, operating
through a senior center, is becoming more and more popular with a number of the above-mentioned com-
ponents located under one-roof and in easy reach of the aged population. Currently, 16 of California's
54 community projects funded through Title III are multi-purpose in nature.
It is important to note that community program funding is restricted to a three year period by the
Commission. Matching is on 75% (federal) - 25% (local) basis the first year; 60% - 40% the second
year; and 50% - 50% the third year. These federal funds for local programs are intended to be "seed
3
monies" to assist a local project in its development but not to support it financially on a
continuing basis. As a result, the Commission, in evaluating a community project proposal, places
heavy emphasis on local interest and support from the very beginning SO that a funded project has
the potential for a long and productive impact on the community.
The Areawide Model Project concept was added to Title III of the Older Americans Act in 1969. On
a 75% (federal) 25% (local) match. the AoA is able to make grants for the purpose of developing and
operating a program within the purposes of this Act by contracting with the State.
The conditions for award approval include the selection of an area - - a portion of a city, a city,
a portion of a county. a county. a region or metropolitan area - - which contains a large number
of older persons and a high percentage of low income aged.
This concept requires groups of local agencies and private sources to gather together in a con-
sortium to formulate a comprehensive program of services aimed at meeting a significant prioritv
need of the aged in the geographical area selected. A major emohasis in the success of such a
program is cooperative and combined agency activity and joint funding arrangements.
At present, potential areawide model proposals are in varying degrees of development in San Diego,
Los Angeles, San Jose and San Francisco. It is forecasted that at least two applications will be
processed by the Commission in the first half of F.Y. 73.
4
TITLE IV
Under Title IV of the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended, research and demonstration grants
are offered to program proposals that stimulate and support orderly development of future aging
programs at the state level.
In California, two such grants are currently operating. The Senior Citizens Association of Los
Angeles County receives a grant for "hot meals for the elderly". The purpose of this program is
to demonstrate the feasibility and acceptability of using public schools as centers for a nutrition
program operating in conjunction with the adult education system. Approximately 210 persons are
served weekly.
In Sacramento, the State Department of Social Welfare is the grantee for a project titled "Patterns
of Aging on Welfare". The purpose of this program is to determine the relevancy of service pro-
grams from the Old Age Assistance recipients perspective as it relates to the recipients history
and life cycle.
The Commission's responsibility under Title IV is limited to comment and recommendations on the
original proposal.
TITLE V
Title V of the Older Americans Act provides grants to university-based career training programs
in aging. Three such grants are currently operating in California.
5
The University of California (Berkeley), School of Social Work, receives funds to train students
in the MSW program for competency in community organization work with and for older people. At
present, 20 students are training in community organization; 14 of 18 graduates now work in the
field of aging.
San Diego State College, School of Social Work, receives a grant to increase the number of social
workers with special competence in planning and organization of services for older people and to
support a field teaching center in social services for the aging as a special demonstration project
in social work education; 24 graduate and 6 undergraduates are enrolled in this program. A total
of 86 have completed the program, and 20 are working in the field of aging.
The University of Southern California Gerontology center is the grantee for a program aimed at
offering architectual graduate students exposure to work in planning the "life space", i.e.
environmental design for older persons. A total of 7 graduate students are presently enrolled;
15 graduates are all working directly or indirectly in the aging field.
The Commission's responsibility under Title V is limited to comment and recommendation on the
original proposal.

ACTION AGENCY
Older Americans Act of 1965, As Amended
TITLE VI (functions transferred from Administration on Aging to Action Agency by Executive Order)
Retired Senior Volunteer Program
With the 1969 amendments to the Older Americans Act, Title VI was added to this Act. The purpose
of Title VI is to develop volunteer service opportunities in local communities for persons of
retirement age. RSVP grants are provided for the development and operation of programs providing
community volunteer opportunities for persons 60 years of age and over. and provide out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by these volunteers.
At present, 11 RSVP programs are in operation throughout the country. One of the first grants was
awarded to the Coordinating Council for Social Development, in San Diego. This program has
developed volunteer opportunities for 165 aged Californians serving in 41 community agencies in
San Diego. At last count. this project offers opportunities for more senior volunteers than any
other RSVP program in the country.
The Commission has processed 11 new RSVP applications in recent months. At least 4 new grants
will be awarded to California in the next 6 months. A local match of 10 - 25% is required.
Foster Grandparent Program
On a 90% (federal) - 10% (local) matching basis the newly formed Action Agency is authorized to
7
make grants with public and non-profit private agencies and organizations to develop and operate
projects designed to provide opportunities for low-income persons aged 60 and over to render
supportive person-to-person services in health, education, welfare and related settings to children
requiring special attention. This is the Foster Grandparent concept.
The Foster Grandparent program offers a continuity of tradition and civility to special youth
and provides a sources of individual attention and personalized care for children in institutional
settings to help them grow physically, socially, emotionally and mentally.
The concept promotes new patterns of cooperation between professional and non-professional
personnel, and like RSVP, it demonstrates the willingness and capacity of retired persons to
reliably participate in community service roles on a full or part-time basis.
A foster grandparent receives an hourly stipend; a transportation allowance; an annual physical
exam and meals while participating in the program.
Three Foster Grandparent Programs currently operate in California.
In San Francisco, 65 foster grandparents work with children in day homes, hospitals, centers
for handicapped minors, medical centers and the youth guidance center. Several grandparents
have learned to lip-read to better serve their clients.
8
In Pomona, 59 foster grandparents and 20 volunteers are assigned to children's wards at Pacific
State Hospital for person-to-person attention.
In Stockton, 40 foster grandparents work with delinquent boys in their mid-teens at the Northern
California Youth Center, which includes O. H. Close Institution and Karl Holton Institution with
the goal being rehabilitation.
Three new inquiries for foster grandparent information were received in the last 30 days. New
programs will be generated in the new fiscal year.
These two voluntary efforts - RSVP/Foster Grandparents - are administered through the newly create
Action Agency at the federal level. With the formation of this new agency an added emphasis has
been placed on these two major programs across the country. It is important to note that these
programs are voluntary in character and are not intended to be classified as income maintenance
activities.
SOME ACCOMPLISHMENTS
In recent months the California Commission on Aging has developed guidelines in evaluating
community project proposals for funding. These guidelines were developed as a result of the
Human Relations Agency Task Force Report for the Commission on Aging, dated February 22, 1971.
Specifically the Commission places heavy emphasis on proposals containing income maintenance
and/or housing components.
With the passage of the Emergency Employment Act of 1971, the Commission continues to advocate
the usage of public service position openings at the city. county, and state leve¹ for ex-
perienced and mature job applicants.
9
The California Commission on Aging contracted with the Institute for Local Self Government to
produce a film series adaptable to television showing. The series is titled "Strangers in our
Midst". This series will be used as a promotional piece in conjunction with Senior Citizens Month
in May, and to promote work in the field of aging throughout the State.
For sometime now, the Commission has recognized the need to provide linkage directly to the con-
sumer. The best approach appears to be the formation of an Advisory Committee to the Commission.
A goal of one advisory member for each 10,000 aged in California has been established. The
first 14 members have been selected and an orientation meeting held.
The make-up of this committee will include heavy emphasis on consumers and will he a representa-
tive cross-section of California's aged population.
This advisory body will review the recommendations from the recent White House Conference on
aging and make recommendations to the Commission. Some of the questions this group will be
dealing with in regards to the recommendations are:
Who is responsible for implementing conference recommendations?
Who will determine priority?
Who will assign responsibility for carrying out the various recommendations?
Who will inform the consumer as to the cost of implementation and progress made?
10
In addition, the Advisory Committee will support the Commission in generating new community project pro-
posals and informing the Commission on a continuing basis as to the status of the aged at the local level.
Of course, this year ended on a high note for aged Californians with the 2nd decennial White House Conference
on Aging, held in Washington, D.C., November 28 - December 2, 1971.
To prepare for this conference some 600 local forums, workshops and meetings were held to discuss issues
and recommendations to be developed on a national level. These local meetings provided valuable input for
the State Pre-Conference meeting, held in Sacramento on May 24. As a result of this Statewide gathering,
attended by some 1,135, California's recommendations in the aging field were ready to undergo national review
Most of California's recommendations withstood the scrutiny of 4,000 national delegates, 14 sections and
a number of special concerns sessions, and were quite evident in the White House Conference recommendations
distributed the last day of this national conference.
President Nixon addressed the entire delegation on December 2, and committed the administration to a nearly
four-fold increase in funding to the Administration on Aging. On December 15, the President signed a
supplemental appropriation bill increasing the funding level for aging programs to 100 million during Fiscal
Year 72 with similar commitment in the next fiscal year.

SUMMARY OF RECENT AGING REPORT AND STUDIES
Report on Older Population Needs, Resources, and Services
by
Gerontology Center
University of Southern California at Los Angeles
Report contains information which is utilized to determine the characteristics, interests and needs
of those persons over the age of 55 in the Los Angeles County Model Neighborhood area. It also con-
tains analysis of the available supportive services and resources in the area and compares them with
the needs of the older population. Programs are recommended to meet the needs of older persons and
to establish service priorities.
The Golden Years.
A Tarnished Myth
by
Project FIND, Office of Economic Opportunity
The Project FIND Report is a compilation of statistics, case interviews and narratives gathered in a
dozen sections of the country, which discloses the conditions under which a great number of Americans
live out their older years.
The data touches on many different aspects of the daily lives of the thousands of older people in-
terviewed. It presents a mosaic of need which shows that for millions of older people the "Golden Years"
is a tarnished myth, and that poverty is the daily reality of their lives.
45
Problems of the Elderly
by
Cyril Roseman Associates
Hayward, California
Report offers a quantative analysis of Hayward's current elderly population with projections indicating
the probable age distribution on the city by 1990.
An attempt is made to acquaint the reader with the general needs of older people in the United States by
exploring the various parameters of social concern among the elderly - health, housing, employment, income,
interpersonal relations, transportation, and recreation.
A discussion of the current community response to the elderly's problem in Hayward with particular attention
given to the gaps between the current needs of the elderly population and Hayward's available resources.
The Chico Study on Aging
by
University of California Extension, Davis
for
Administration on Aging
The research reported here attempts to determine what options for living, Chico promises older persons of
varying backgrounds, and what methodology could be developed SO other communities may use this format in
similar studies.
The study involves more than a survey of Chico; it also includes the aging resident's own perception of
his town and its resources. Conversely, the study explores attitudes and opinions of the service groups
and agencies toward the elderly in Chico, California
46
Who are the Senior Center Participants?
A Constituency Study
by
Dr. David F. DeMarche
Financed by
California Commission on Aging
The constituency study was conducted to provide a better understanding of the older persons now being
served by the many senior centers in San Francisco. The study provides information on the age, sex,
marital status, place of residence, length of residence in San Francisco, type of living arrangements,
income status, and source income.
The study provides useful information for identifying geographic gaps in service, as well as a planning
tool for individual centers. It also provides a format for gathering information on a continuing basis.
Older Americans: Special Handling Required
by
Marjorie Bloomberg Tiven
for
The National Council on the Aging
Identification and discussion of crucial issues relevant to older people is conducted. The scope of the
study is broad - - income, special problems of minority group members and urban and rural residents, health,
institutional care, alternatives to institutional care, social services, transportation and mobility, housin
the law, consumer problems, employment, retirement roles, and social and community action. The study also
discusses areas where major efforts at solutions have been made - - such as Social Security retirement
benefits and Old Age Assistance. In other areas such as transportation and mobility, emphasis is placed on
47
defining the nature and scope of the problem.
