Scarce financial resources and services will be directed to older individuals with the greatest economic or social needs with particular attention to low-income minority individuals. Outreach efforts will be made to targeted consumer groups to inform them of the availability of services. Special assistance will be given to older individuals of greatest economic or social needs, low income minorities, rural elderly, English speaking elderly, medically under-served areas and older individuals with severe disabilities. Program income is seen as an important means for maintaining and expanding services. The development of private/public sector partnerships is seen as an important means of expanding the capacity to meet the needs of older persons. "Indirect services" such as self-help, advocacy and private/public collaboration are seen as important elements of the service system and should be included in the activities of the aging network. In the development of the service system, attention will be given to special needs consumer groups such as the severely disabled, persons with developmental disabilities, and persons with visual or hearing impairments. In order to ensure that services are addressed to these specific populations, the AAAPB/TC has the following targeting goals as part of the 2013-2015 Area Plan. 2013 - 2015 Targeting Plan (embedded Excel worksheet) Characteristic 2012 PSA 60+ Population Count(1) % Goal: # of Service* Recipients in PSA(2) to serve in 2013 % Goal: # of Service* Recipients in PSA(2) to serve in 2014 % Goal: # of Service* Recipients in PSA(2) to serve in 2015 All 60+ 550,815 100% 8,784 100% 8,784 100% 8,784 Below Poverty Level 42,993 8% 3,250 37% 3,426 39% 3,500
