Explanation
(This amendment provides $400,000 each year from the general fund to Norfolk Senior Center operated by Primeplus, Inc. to fund core services for elderly citizens in the South Hampton Roads area. Funding will support adult day services, outreach, nutrition and wellness programs, in order to prevent more expensive placements in nursing homes. Requests for services have increased by 40 percent over the past 12 months. The introduced budget reduced funding for this organization by 50 percent in fiscal year 2013 and eliminated funding in fiscal year 2014.)
