our intake counseling and screening office as well as our office on aging, and then we have ihhs and long-term care. i think in your pack, it is page 8. as you know, ihhs is the publicly funded program that goes into people's homes and provides those -- both personal care as well as chore services. when you look at the chart, you can see that we have had a lot of growth since 2007. some years it was up words of 10%. you can see that it is starting to level off. this number shows you through december 11, and it looks like it took a little dive, but by the end of -- it went up in subsequent months, but again, it is growing very, very slowly. that is probably due to the fact that most of the people in our community at this point are probably in the program, so we will continue to see some steady growth, but not the steep climb we saw in the past. page nine of your package shows the community living fund. this is the fund that the mayor and board set up some years ago. this is the fund that helps people exit institutional care and come back into the community by providing a case manageme

hdm programs or ihhs. i want to quickly point out the estimate of missing meals and the department of about 18 services of 2006, which did a study out of which we were able to see that we were missing between 6,000,009 million meals annually. most are accessing one meal, five days a week. you can see the meal or two meals that people are missing every day. if there is no access to cal fresh and there is a struggle to get supplementary free food, pantry sites, it is a critical issue for us. we do know that malnutrition and health medical outcomes are huge. we know that people are entering and reentering hospitals, simply due to lack of nutrition. we know that malnutrition and isolation in older adults brings medical and surgical complications, with the late recovery from trauma and increased length of hospital stays, as well as readmission rates. we are looking at and trying to address that transitioning in and out of hospitals and what a critical role nutrition can play in that. given that the population i

>> i met -- and to my have to do with the ihhs caseload projections. we received a federal grand for technology that was about $4 million. we received in partnership with the department technology. supervisor avalos: we will not see any service delivery on that? >> we are not. the state budget, it looks like, was recently agreed to in pencil by the government and legislature today, make some changes. we need to figure out what that means operationally for us and for consumers. we do not think it will have an impact. at this point on, consumers are on our funding, but it is a fairly complicated deal. it has to do with the state increasing their responsibility, so we will have to see how that plays out. just another slice out of our budget. the shows in terms of our budget how much money goes directly to families and other single adults and seniors who receive public benefits. certainly grants, public assistance, cash grants for single adults and families, as well as in-home supportive services and wages. on the operating side, the staff and contract wit
