Executive Summary
Recommendation to approve the after-the-fact grant application submittal of the Corporation for National and
Community Services Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP 2027-2030) for $131,943 and allow the County
Manager, or her designee, to serve as the authorized representative for the grantor’s electronic submission system,
eGrants, throughout the grant period. (Housing Grant Fund 1835 and Housing Match Fund 1836)
OBJECTIVE: To continue to provide uninterrupted operation of the Collier County Retired and Senior Volunteer
Program (RSVP) in alignment with the quality of place focus area of the Collier County strategic plan, by supporting
access to health wellness, and human services
CONSIDERATIONS: The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) provides volunteer opportunities and
program support to retirees and seniors of Collier County who dedicate their time and experience to the community at
nearly twenty locations throughout Collier County. The purpose of this application is to provide 125 RSVP volunteers
serving residents of Collier County the opportunity to continue their work with various non-profit agencies through the
RSVP Program.
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) has been co-sponsored by Collier County since 1990. RSVP is a
national volunteer program sponsored by AmeriCorps Seniors designed to provide individuals aged 55 years and older
with the opportunity to share their abilities, interests, and experience with their communities. RSVP supports several
volunteer stations that strengthen our community, including Bone Builders, New Horizons of SWFL, and Meals of Hope.
At these sites, volunteers lead senior exercise classes, provide academic support for students, and assist with food
distribution to families in need. These stations highlight the diverse ways our volunteers make a meaningful local
impact. RSVP of Collier County has 164 volunteers presently who served 5,159.55 volunteer hours from April 2025 until
February 2026, providing a donated value of $170,265.15 of service for residents of Collier County so far.
If approved, the period of performance for this grant would be April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2030, with a three-year
total of $395,829. Annually, the award will total $131,943 and may be continued up to six years through an annual
continuation application. The AmeriCorps federal investment of $118,749 annually will be supplemented annually by
$13,194 of local non-federal investment of cash resources. Historically, Collier County has met match requirements via a
combination of a cash match and in-kind resources. Collier County Parks and Recreation has donated the use of activity
rooms for the RSVP volunteer-run Bone Builders Program classes to assist the RSVP Program in meeting its in-kind
contributions. Community businesses further support the program through donations for volunteer recognition events.
The proposed grant program will provide funding for a portion of the salaries and other administrative expenses needed
to administer this program, such as supplies, software, and travel, as well as volunteer support costs, including volunteer
recognition.

RE
The RSVP program has been co-sponsored by the County since 1990 with AmeriCorps designed
to provide individuals aged 55 years and older with the opportunity to share their abilities,
interests, and experience with their communities. The Community and Human Services Division
(CHS) is applying for RSVP funding to provide volunteer opportunities to retirees and seniors of
the County who dedicate their time and experience to the community at nearly twenty locations
throughout Collier County. Funding will support 125 volunteers serving residents of Collier County
with the opportunity to continue their work with various non-profit agencies through the RSVP
Program.
The total grant application request of $1 31 ,943 is comprised of a federal share of $1 18,749 with
a required match of 10% or $13,194.
The funding opportunity was announced on January 30,2026, with a submittal date of March 26,
2026. Due to the short turnaround, it is necessary to utilize Collier County CMA #5330 authorizing
the County Manager to approve the submittal of grant applications with subsequent Board action
at the April 14,2026, Board meeting.
Once you have reviewed the application, please sign in the box above and in any areas marked

§ 5330-1. Purpose.
The purpose of this procedure is to ensure that County Divisions coordinate grant acquisition efforts; to
provide a mechanism for assisting Divisions in grant application, submission and award acceptance; to
review all1 acquisitions for compliance, consistency and appropriateness prior to submittal to the grantor;
to track and monitor grants for single audit and budget compliance; and to provide oversight through
Countywide internal controls to support administrative grants management requirements.
§ 5330-2. Concept.
Collier County continually strives to increase and enhance the quality and quantit y of public services,
facilities and infrastructure by maximizing the use of federal, state and local grants. The role of the Grants
Compliance Manager is to coordinate and assist departments in these grant efforts, to monitor and track
existing and future grants; lead the annual audit; and mitigate compliance risk. Advisements made by the
Grants Management Office under the Office of Management and Budget provide opportunities to mitigate
or eliminate potential or identified risks of noncompliance that could impact the results of a successful
audit or sponsor peer review. Staff are expected to implement advisements in order for the County to
promote a compliance-minded environment and good standing with its sponsors to secure future funding.
The County’s Grant Administration Handbook guides all County Divisions through the grant process
focusing on post award compliance. Check the grants Sharepoint site regularly for updates. These
procedures are not subject to nor to be amended by any current or future contradictory resolutions with
the exception of specific resolutions delegating specific authority at the request or requirement of the
grantor.
§ 5330-3. Procedure.
A. Preparation of Grant Applications: The Grants Compliance Manager is available to help provide
resources in grant preparation, including locating, researching, writing, assembling, and submittal.
Each division acquiring grant funding must assign adequate staff resources that are trained and/or
experienced relative to the complexity of the grant program requirements. Staff will work closely
with the Grants Compliance Office to coordinate administration, provide required support and
project information throughout the grant application, approval and management process.
B. Grant Review Process: The Grants Compliance Manager, or designee, will review all grant
applications prior to submission to the grantor. A copy of the application, with required review sheet
and all grant guidelines, must be forwarded to the Grants Compliance Manager prior to the grant
being added to the automated agenda system for approval by the Board of County Commissioners.
(1) If a grantor limits the number of applications that can be submitted at one time or requires that
multiple applications be prioritized, it is the responsibility of the Department Heads of the
respective divisions, with assistance from the County Manager and Grants Compliance
1. The portions of this procedure related to preparation, review, submittal and approval and agreement processes do not apply to
Constitutional Officers with the exception of grant programs whereby the Board is required to be the grantee for eligibility.
CMA 5330
GRANT ADMINISTRATION
Page 2 of 5
Manager if necessary, to select the proposal to be submitted or to prioritize the proposals. If,
however, the grantor specifically requires such decision to be made by the elected body, the
Board of County Commissioners will make that decision.
(2) If a division has specialized experience in a grant program in which multiple County divisions
apply, the County Manager and Grants Compliance Manger may designate a lead division to
manage administrative and program compliance.
C. Approval and Submittal:
(1) The Board of County Commissioners must approve all grant applications, including
applications that do not require a signature, are submitted online or allow an individual other
than the Chairman of the Board to sign.
(2) The Grants Compliance Manager, or designee, will approve each Executive Summary in the
automated agenda system. Guidelines for preparation of the executive summary and example
executive summaries are available on the grants Sharepoint site.
(3) All grant applications that require signature of the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners also require review by the County Attorney's office.
(4) In the event that the grant deadline is prior to the deadline for items to be submitted for a
scheduled Board of County Commissioners meeting or the deadline is prior to the next Board
of County Commissioners meeting, the project manager must contact the Grants Compliance
Manager to discuss options for emergency submittals or after-the-fact approval. Division will
apply using the established after-the-fact Board approval request form. If emergency submittal
is not possible, these policies, to the greatest extent then allowed by law, rule or regulation,
delegate to the County Manager, or designee, authority to sign the grant application; however,
the project manager must submit an executive summary for the next Board of County
Commissioners meeting for the required after-the-fact approval. Internal department
deadlines used to manage agenda items will not supersede the meeting date the OMB Grants
Management Office assigns to obtain Board approval.
(5) Only the following reasons constitute justification for the after-the-fact process:
(a) The grant is announced, and the application is due within one month or less and the
deadline has been missed for the next available Board of County Commissioners
meeting; or
(b) Division commitments to emergency situations or events beyond n ormal operations
prohibit staff from having time to develop application in coordination with Grant
Coordinator; or
(c) The Board of County Commissioners is not in session for a few weeks at a time (e.g.
summer break).
(6) Over usage or unjustifiable reliance on the after-the-fact process is not acceptable and the
County Manager has the right at any point to disapprove the submittal of an application.
(7) The only exception to the requirement that the Board of County Commissioners sign a grant
application is when a grantor provides specific authority and requires that the Board of County
Commissioners delegate the authority to another individual or if the application is to be
CMA 5330
GRANT ADMINISTRATION
Page 3 of 5
submitted online. In these instances, however, the Board of County Commissioners must by
executive summary and, if appropriate, resolution or other form of approval, delegate
authority to that individual for that specific grant application and such approval must be
granted for each and every application submitted.
(7) Separate actions will be taken before the Board for application and award unless an exception
is granted by the Grants Compliance Manager.
D. Notice of Grant Awards: Notice of a grant award may come in a variety of forms, including an
award letter, an agreement, an e-mail or even a phone call. Regardless of the form of notice, the
Grants Compliance Manager must be notified of all awards upon receipt.
E. Grant Award Documents.
(1) Most grants require execution of an agreement, contract or other document for formal
acceptance.
(2) The Grants Compliance Manager, or designee, will approve each executive summary in the
automated agenda system. Guidelines for preparation of the executive summary and example
Executive summaries are available on the grants Sharepoint site.
(3) The Board of County Commissioners must approve acceptance of the grant, unless the Board
delegated this specific authority to the Department Head during any stage of the application
approval process (if required by the grantor). Acceptance of each grant may require signature
on an acceptance letter, grant agreement/contract, certifications or other acceptance
documents.
(4) As is the case with the application process, in the event that the grant agreement deadline is
prior to the deadline for items to be submitted for a scheduled Board of County Commissioners
meeting or the deadline is prior to the next Board of County Commissioners meeting, the
project manager must contact the Grants Compliance Manager to discuss options for
emergency submittals or after-the-fact approval. If emergency submittal is not possible, these
policies, to the greatest extent then allowed by law, rule or regulation, delegate to the County
Manager, or designee, authority to sign the grant award document; however, the project
manager must submit an executive summary at the next available Board of County
Commissioners meeting for the required after-the-fact approval. This process is only permitted
if the grantor agrees that it is acceptable in order to meet their deadline; however, most grant ors
will allow additional time for the regular Board of County Commissioners approval. Always
forward a copy of the executive summary verifying after-the-fact approval to the grantor.
(5) Only the following reasons constitute justification for the after-the-fact process:
(a) The grantor requires execution of the agreement or contract within one month or less
and the deadline has been missed for the next available Board of County Commissioners
meeting; or
(b) The Board of County Commissioners is not in sessi on for a few weeks at a time (e.g.
summer break).
(6) Over usage or unjustifiable reliance on the after-the-fact process is not acceptable and the
County Manager has the right at any point to require that approval be postponed until the next
available Board of County Commissioners meeting for approval of an agreement.

F. Amendments:
(1) Minor Amendments: Amendments to grant agreements, such as time extensions, movement
of grant funds from line item to line item within the approved grant agreement budget, an d
other changes that do not increase the County's obligations, require additional staffing,
resources or negatively impact another planned or programmed project may be signed by the
respective Department Head unless prohibited by the grantor, grant agreement or any
applicable federal, state, or local laws, rule or regulation. The underlying grant contract
conditions must also allow such signature authority. All such amendments must be reported
to the Grants Compliance Manager and consulted with prior to execution with a copy of the
amendment forwarded for the Central Grants File.
(2) Major/Significant Amendments: Amendments that increase or decrease grant funds, change
the scope of the program or otherwise obligate the County to expend additional funds or
resources are not considered minor. All major amendments must be reviewed and approved
by the Grants Compliance Manager in the automated agenda system and approved by the
Board of County Commissioners. The funding source for any increase in County funds or
personnel, such as the local match requirement, must be identified and included in the backup
documentation to the Board.
(3) Budget Amendments: In accordance with the Office of Management and Budget current
procedures, the Board of County Commissioners must approve, via executive summary, all
budget amendments to recognize and appropriate new revenue from grants. The amount and
source of match must be disclosed in the Execute Summary, identified and available no later
than at the time award or per the application requirements whichever is more restrictive .
G. Documents Required in the Central Grants File:
(1) Prior to adding any document to the automated agenda system for Board of County
Commissioners approval, staff will submit documents to the Grants Compliance Office for
review. Documents that should be included for reference are:
(a) Notice of funding availability.
(b) Draft application.
(c) Grant program guidance.
(2) Following submittal of the grant application to the grantor, the project manager must forward
copies of the complete and signed application to the Grants Management Office for filing in
the Central Grants File.

Executive Summary
The Collier County AmeriCorps's RSVP program proposes to have rz5 AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers
who will address critical community needs including physical activities, nutrition and food support,
tutoring, referrals, and elder justice: fraud and scam prevention in Collier County. The primary focus
area of this project is Healthy Futures. At the end of the three-year grant period, AmeriCorps Seniors
volunteers will be responsible for improving health for 3oo seniors; improving food security for rz5
individuals; improving academic performance for r6 students; improving access to medical, housing,
and supportive services for zB veterans; and improving capacity for independent living for ro5 seniors.
The AmeriCorps federal investment of $rr8,749 will be supplemented by $r3,r94 of local non-federal
investment of both cash and in-kind resources.
Strengthening Communities
According to the Area Agency on Aging for Southwest Florida, 19 percent of Collier County residents
age 65 and older live alone, increasing risk for social isolation and related health challenges. RSVP
volunteers address this need through meal delivery, companionship, and service navigation,
interventions shown to improve health outcomes and support independent living among older adults.
RSVP of Collier County uses evidence-based and evidence-informed service models to guide program
design. Work plans are developed using community needs assessments, demographic data, prior
performance results, and partner input to ensure services address documented local needs. RSVP
volunteers deliver structured, community-based activities that support both youth and older adults.
Research demonstrates that older adult volunteers are most effective when placed in structured
service roles supported by training, supervision, and clear program expectations (Morrow-Howell et
al., zotT). Accordingly, RSVP uses intentional role design with defined responsibilities, standardized
training, and ongoing skill development to ensure consistent, high-quality service delivery. These
approaches strengthen social connectedness, food security, and access to services which are key
priorities identified through Collier County's community needs assessments.
Continuous performance monitoring is integrated into program operations. Service outputs, volunteer
feedback, partner assessments, and community indicators are reviewed regularly to refine activities
and strengthen outcomes. Research on volunteer service programs indicates that structured training,
ongoing supervision, and monitoring of service delivery are key factors that improve program fidelity
and volunteer effectiveness (Hager & Brudney, 2o11). This data-driven approach ensures RSVP
volunteers deliver measurable, sustainable impact aligned with documented community needs

DRAFT
Narratives
Community needs assessments, stakeholder engagement, and demographic analysis guide RSVP's
alignment with the Healthy Futures focus area. Approximatety S+ percent of Collier County's 4t6,zgg
residents are age 65 or older, well above state and national averages. This represents more than
14o,ooo older adults with increasing service needs significantly exceeding state and national averages
and creates sustained demand for health, wellness, and supportive services that enable aging in place.
RSVP of Collier County has a long history of addressing these needs through strategic volunteer
engagement. Local assessments and partner feedback consistently identify service gaps affecting older
adults, including long waitlists for affordable senior housing, limited access to senior-specific mental
health and veteran-support services, high levels of social isolation and depression, and a shortage of
hurricane-resilient affordable housing. These conditions contribute to financial insecurity, housing
instability, food insecurity, and increased risk of homelessness. RSVP's volunteer strategies are
designed to address these interconnected challenges while strengthening health outcomes and social
connection for vulnerable older adults.
To maximize effectiveness, RSVP prioritizes evidence-based and data-informed programming. Collier
County's longest-running initiative, Bone Builders, is an evidence-based strength-training program
developed through research at Tufts University. Implemented in Collier County for decades through
RSVP volunteers, the program has demonstrated measurable outcomes including improved balance,
increased strength and mobility, reduced fall risk, and enhanced confidence among participants.
Participant feedback and national program evaluations consistently confirm improvements in gait
stability, reduced fracture risk, increased social engagement, and overall qualrty of life. Participation in
Bone Builders has steadily increased, requiring expanded volunteer recruitment and additional class
sessions to meet demand.
RSVP also responds to emerging needs, including fraud prevention and consumer education, as
financial scams increasingly target older adults. These services help protect financial stability and
support aging in place by reducing preventable crises that can lead to housing instability or loss of
independence.
The proposed number of AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP volunteers is based on the program's long-
standing experience managing volunteer-driven service delivery in Collier County and documented

wellness programming. Past volunteer engagement trends, retention rates, and partner agency
requests for additional support have informed the projected volunteer numbers in the work plan,
ensuring that the program can effectively meet community needs while maintaining high-quality
service delivery.
Through targeted, evidence-informed programming aligned with documented local needs,
AmeriCorps Seniors RSVP of Collier County advances Healthy Futures outcomes while strengthening
long-term community resilience.
Volunteer Corps Adequacy: The proposed number of rz5 AmeriCorps Seniors volunteers is
appropriately scaled based on documented community needs, prior program performance, historic
recruitment and retention trends, host site capacity, and projected service intensity. Collier County's
large and geographically dispersed senior population requires a distributed volunteer model to ensure
equitable access. Volunteer projections were calculated using:
* Targeted unduplicated clients served
* Service frequency and intensity required to achieve outcomes
* Historical average service hours per volunteer
" Expected continuation and attrition rates
" Supervisory ratios and host site capacity
Over the past 30 years, the program has consistent recruitment capacity, stable retention, predictable
attrition patterns, and established a consistent service model. Historical participation data, and site
partner capacity have demonstrated program quality and accessibility. Based on this long-standing
operational experience, RSVP has determined the number of volunteers required to meet growing
demand and sustain services across multiple community locations. Past volunteer recruitment and
retention trends, combined with increasing participation among Collier County's rapidly growing older
adult population, confirm that the proposed volunteer levels are both achievable and necessary to
effectively deliver evidence-based programming and improve Healthy Futures outcomes. The
resulting annual number of volunteers is sufficient to meet targeted outputs and outcomes while
maintaining appropriate supervision, training, compliance, and fiscal stewardship. The scale of the
volunteer corps reflects responsible use of federal resources and realistic engagement patterns
grounded in demonstrated community capacity.
RSVP leverages the professional and personal experience of older adults by placing volunteers in roles
aligned with their skills, interests, and backgrounds. Volunteers serve in transportation assistance,
mentoring and tutoring, health promotion, food distribution, housing navigation, English language

and literacy support, disaster preparedness, and technology assistance. For example:
* Former educators and trainers facilitate Bone Builders and mentoring activities.
* Retired health care professionals support safe exercise and health education.
* Volunteers with administrative or management experience assist with coordination and logistics.
Assignments are designed to be meaningful while offering opportunities to build new competencies,
including technology literacy, facilitation skills, mentoring strategies, and health and safety practices.
Volunteers receive comprehensive orientation, role-specific training, and ongoing development
opportunities such as Bone Builders instructor certification, Housing First training, English language
support strategies, and disaster preparedness edu cation.
Service placements within trusted community organizations foster strong relationships and shared
purpose. Recognition events, newsletters, group service projects, and leadership opportunities further
strengthen engagement and connection. This structured yet relationship-centered approach ensures
volunteers experience rewarding service while contributing measurable value to the community.

Community Need to be Addressed:
Collier County' s older adult population aged 65 and older constitutes 34.3 percent of its total, significantly exceeding state and national averages
(U.S Census Bureau), creating significant demand for age- specific health and prevention programs. Falls are Florida' s leading cause of both
fatal and non- fatal injuries among seniors.ln2023,4,380 residents died from falls, with Collier County recording an age- adjusted fall mortality
of 15.5 per 100,000 (FLHealthCHARTS.gov, 2025). Meanwhile, national data show that 25.5 percent of Florida' s older adults report at least one
fall annually, ranking fifth highest among states (America' s Health Rankings, 2026).
Bone Builders addresses these needs through structured strength and balance training designed to improve muscle strength, gait, and bone health.
These 60- minute sessions combine strength and balance exercises proven to reduce falls and improve musculoskeletal health (Sherrington et al.,
2015). As participants gain strength and stability, fear of falling decreases, which reduces social withdrawal and builds confidence in daily
activities. Equally important, Bone Builders is delivered in a group setting, providlng consistent peer interaction and social connection. Social
engagement is a well- documented protective factor against loneliness, cognitive decline, and emotional distress. Participants frequently report
improved mood, increased energy, stronger social ties, and an enhanced sense of purpose. By strengthening physical capacity while fostering
connection and confidence, the program supports healthy aging, improved quality of life, and sustained independence among older adults.

Economic pressures further heighten risk. Nearly 32 percent of Collier County seniors live below the ALICE Survival Budget threshold,
($26,680/year per older adult), indicating chronic financial insecurity in covering basic needs like food (Collier Community Foundation,e2023).
Regional data show the average household survival budget reached $96,516 in2023, reflecting rising costs that outpace fixed retirement incomes.
For many older adults, food becomes a flexible expense, increasing vulnerability to food insecurity and poor nutrition. Food insecurity among
seniors accelerates chronic illnesses, hospitalizations, depression, and functional decline, and social isolation intensifies these issues.
Congregate meal sites are proven to improve nutrition, food security, and social engagement (CDC Community Guide,i2022; NCOA,i2023;
Leeielial.,i2024). Healthy meal sites address these risks through consistent access to balanced, nutritious meals that support disease
prevention/management, improve diets, stabilizes health conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and reduces avoidable health complications. ln
addition to nutrition support, congregate meal settings provide structured social engagement, which is strongly associated with improved mental
health and reduced isolation, factors that influence overall health outcomes. By combining access to healthy meals with social connection, meal
sites advance goals of improved health, enhanced well- being, and sustained independence among older adults. Expanding healthy meal services
in Collier County directly responds to documented demographic and economic need while supporting measurable nutrition and health outcomes for
vulnerable seniors.

speak a language other than English at home (201.9- 2023 ACS 5- year estimates).
A significant portion of Collier County residents speak limited English, restricting access to employment, housing, healthcare, and public systems.
Limited English proficiency contributes to lower earnings, housing instability, and reduced access to preventive care and community resources, as
documented in community health assessments and language access studies conducted bythe Florida Department of Health in Collier County.
A meta- analysis of 21 studies of volunteer tutoring programs serving students in grades K- 8 found that structured volunteer tutoring
significantly improved academic outcomes, particularly reading fluency, word recognition, and writing skills, among elementary and middle school
students. Volunteer tutoring supports core academic skills, increases classroom engagement, and provides consistent academic reinforcement fo
students who need additional support (Ritter, Barnett, Denny, & Albin,2009).

According to the Collier Community Foundation, Collier County is home to approximately 23,220 military veterans, many of whom are older adults
who served in World War ll, Korea, and Vietnam. Nearly 2,000 veterans live at or below the federal poverty level, and more than 3,500 have
service- connected disabilities, placing them at increased risk for chronic health conditions, limited income, and transportation barriers (U.S.
Census Bureau, American Community Survey Veteran Status data). Veterans frequently face challenges navigating healthcare systems, U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, housing resources, and behavioral health services.
Social isolation is a growing concern among veterans. A national survey conducted by Disabled American Veterans found that 56.9 percent of
veterans reported feeling lonely " some" or " often." Loneliness and social isolation are strongly associated with poorer mental and physical
health outcomes and increased suicide risk among veterans. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs reports that more than 6,000 veterans die by

suicide each year in the United States, highlighting the urgent need for prevention, connection, and community- based support.
Peer- informed volunteer support can play an important role in addressing these challenges. Research on veteran peer support programs publ
in Psychiatric Services found that peer- led mental health and support programs significantly improved recovery orientation, confidence, and
empowerment among veterans, while increasing engagement with needed services (Chinman et al., 20L5). Community- based volunteer programs
that connect veterans with trained peers can help individuals navigate services, reduce isolation, and strengthen independence.
