ADRC director tells committee the aging population requires streamlined services and referrals
Summary
An ADRC representative said state ADRC directors are exploring efficiencies to serve a growing elderly population and asked counties to identify duplicative tasks; no funding commitment was made and staff noted legislative advocacy would proceed through the Wisconsin Counties Association.
An ADRC representative (speaker 7) described participation in a statewide focus group planning for a rapidly aging population and asked the committee to consider where county services can refer people to existing programs. "How we can still serve as many people as possible as efficiently as possible," the ADRC director said, describing work to identify duplicative requirements and potential state-level changes.
Board members and staff discussed limits on county resources and the possibility of raising issues with the Wisconsin Counties Association for potential legislative change. Staff warned that many state-added program requirements have not come with matching funding, and any new county positions to address housing or services would require Executive Committee and county-board approval and funding.
