In 1972, Title III of the Older Americans Act was enacted to provided funding for local community projects to begin nutrition services to the elderly. The projects were designed to provide persons age 60 and older and their spouses with at least one hot nutritious meal five days per week. Emphasis was placed on providing services to older persons with the greatest economic need, and also attempting to help reduce isolation caused by old age. The Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas was formed in September 1972 within the Northwest Arkansas Economic Development District (NWAEDD). Nine northwest counties (Baxter, Benton, Boone, Carroll, Madison, Marion, Newton, Searcy, and Washington) were designated as areas of responsibility for the agency. In 1979 legislation was enacted to set up the eight Area Agency on Aging groups in Arkansas as individual, autonomous non-profit organizations. At that time AAANWA left NWAEDD and established its own agency. AAANWA has continued to grow and change to accommodate the needs of the growing older population of Northwest Arkansas. Since the inception of the Senior Services program in 1981, AAANWA has contracted with NWAEDD to provide the direct services of the program. In 2014, NWAEDD decided to discontinue the contract. On April 1 of 2014, AAANWA began providing direct services for 12 full-time senior centers in six counties, including the Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center and the Hillcrest Towers Senior Community Center. These senior centers provide a variety of wellness and social/recreational activities which engage the elderly in a more active lifestyle to help promote good mental, physical, and emotional health. The Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center provides activities for seniors Monday through Friday from 8am-4:30pm at 945 S. College in Fayetteville, while Hillcrest Towers provide services seven days a week at 1 N School Avenue. Senior services include over 280 daily home delivered and congregate meals, taxi transportation to and from the centers, taxi services from a senior's residence to local appointments, weekly day trips, and regularly scheduled activities and events each day. PROGRAM INFORMATION Mission Statement (if you do not have a mission statement, please indicate N/A.)

The Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center uses monthly reports to evaluate the number of participants who receive congregate on -site meals and home -delivered meals. In addition, we track monthly transportation units that tell us how many seniors are using our taxi service. We also track socialization units for the number of seniors who are participating in the many activities that we provide here at the center. A great deal of our funding is based on state and federal reimbursement for these services we provide. All services provided are recorded daily through a computerized membership card scanning system and tabulated by staff at the center. Comparisons are done monthly to ensure that we are meeting the needs of an ever-growing senior population. The Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center provides a Quarterly Report to the City which details the types of services we provide, the number of hours of programming, the number of transportation units provided, and all other relevant information.

What is the reason for the requested increase or decrease in fundine level? I By combining census data and national hunger information, we can estimate that over 7,500 seniors in Washington County suffer the threat of hunger. These same seniors often struggle with isolation as well. It is imperative that the AAANWA is able to continue to provide the services they currently provide for Fayetteville seniors, as well as expanding their services to provide for seniors in need that they currently do not serve. The requested increase in funds would be used to help cover the costs associated with the services provided by the Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center and Hillcrest Towers senior community center Our programming here at the Center continues to see steady growth since we reopened to the public after Covid 19. With our growing senior population, an estimated 10,000 people will turn 65 every single day for the next 15 years in the United States These growing numbers will put an increased burden on Meals on Wheels programs, senior transportation programs, and on Senior Center Activities and Programs. With a 41 year history, the Area Agency on Aging of Northwest Arkansas is directly positioned to best meet these needs for the Fayetteville senior population. The AAANWA possess the staff, facilities, resources, knowledge, and experience to impact seniors in the most effective and efficient way possible. Identifying those in need is one of the most difficult aspects of combating senior hunger and isolation. The AAANWA's extensive network of operations allows them to best identify those in need, along with determining and providing the services that best meet those needs. The current inflation and inflation projections, as well as unusually high gas prices, put a heavy financial strain on our Meals on Wheels Program and Taxi services. The increased food prices also impact our Congregate lunches served at the Senior Center and Hillcrest Towers. With most seniors having less "spending" money due to the inflation and gas prices, this impacts our donations from participants and donors. In a time when we need increased funding to maintain services, our donors have less to give. This makes the City's annual contribution to the Center critically important to our ability to maintain our services and programs All respondents must answer the question below. If City funding is allocated for only one year, what strategies do you have in place to sustain your program? Indicate plans for obtaining funds outside of City funding. The on -going costs for the centers is partially funded by state and federal reimbursements for elderly services. The next level of funding comes from client contributions, grants, private donations, and ongoing fundraising activities. Employees devote a significant amount of time trying to identify and secure grants, donations, and other funding sources to help cover the costs for essential senior services. Should the City of Fayetteville funding be lost or reduced, AAANWA would determine what level of recreational services could be provided with available funding and make adjustments accordingly. The loss of City funding would have a major impact on the amount of recreational activities offered and the number of elderly citizens able to participate in these activities. The certified instructor exercise classes would be reduced and/or eliminated without City funding, and all programming would be decreased by a lack of funding. BUDGET INFORMATION If City funding is denied, describe the impact on your program. (Please limit your response to this page onlv.) The loss of City of Fayetteville funding would have a devastating impact on the recreational, health promotion, and wellness programming provided by the Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center and Hillcrest Towers Senior Community Center. It would mean the loss of instructors for exercise and wellness classes, and a reduction in social and recreational activities due to a decrease in funds for providing these services. In addition, transportation services would be reduced, and many seniors would not be able to receive essential transportation to the center and other destinations in the community. A loss of funding would have a profound negative impact on senior health, senior hunger, and senior independence in the Fayetteville community. We continue to see an increase in Meals on Wheels clients and our other programs, as Seniors become more comfortable returning to their normal activities. The last few years have been especially difficult on seniors and the role of our Center has never been more essential to the well-being of the local senior community. The loss of funding could also affect the Wellness Certification that the Fayetteville Senior Activity and Wellness Center has received from the Division of Aging and Adult Services. In order to keep this certification, the center must pass an assessment yearly. The assessment is used to determine if the center is offering consistent programming in all seven dimensions of wellness. A reduction of funding would result in programs and activities being cancelled that are essential to this certification.
