Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams in California
The Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams for Older Victims of Abuse and Financial Exploitation grant aims to strengthen the capacity of victim services and allied professionals in California to better serve and support victims of elder abuse and financial exploitation. The California Department of Justice's Elder Abuse Prevention and Response initiative is a key partner in this effort, working closely with local law enforcement, social services, and community organizations to address the complex needs of older adults.
Target Outcomes for California
The grant prioritizes outcomes that address the unique challenges faced by older Californians, particularly in regions with high concentrations of vulnerable populations, such as the Central Valley and Los Angeles County. Key outcomes include:
-
Improved coordination and collaboration among multidisciplinary teams, including law enforcement, social services, and healthcare providers, to respond to elder abuse and financial exploitation cases. For example, the Los Angeles County Elder Abuse Forensic Center has demonstrated the effectiveness of this approach in improving outcomes for older adults.
-
Enhanced training and technical assistance for victim services providers and allied professionals to identify and respond to the complex needs of older victims, including those with dementia or other cognitive impairments. The California Department of Social Services' Adult Protective Services program is a critical partner in providing this training and support.
-
Increased access to supportive services, including counseling, housing assistance, and financial management, for older victims of abuse and financial exploitation. The California Housing Finance Agency's (CalHFA) programs, such as the Home Safe Program, provide critical support for older adults at risk of homelessness due to abuse or exploitation.
Why These Outcomes Matter in California
California's diverse geography and demographics create unique challenges for serving older adults, particularly in rural and underserved areas. The state's large and aging population, with over 5.5 million residents aged 65 or older, demands a coordinated and effective response to elder abuse and financial exploitation. By focusing on these priority outcomes, the grant will help ensure that older Californians receive the support and services they need to live safely and securely.
The grant's emphasis on multidisciplinary teams and enhanced training and technical assistance is particularly important in California, where the complexity of elder abuse and financial exploitation cases requires a comprehensive and coordinated response. By improving the capacity of victim services and allied professionals, the grant will help reduce the risk of elder abuse and financial exploitation, and improve outcomes for older adults across the state.
California's unique features, such as its extensive coastline and diverse economy, also present opportunities for innovative approaches to addressing elder abuse and financial exploitation. For instance, the state's Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) laws and grants, such as the ADU Grant Program, can help older adults remain in their homes safely and securely.
As the state continues to evolve and grow, it is essential to prioritize the needs of older Californians and ensure that they receive the support and services they deserve. By doing so, California can become a model for other states in addressing elder abuse and financial exploitation.

Q: Are there any additional resources available to support older Californians beyond the Enhanced Multidisciplinary Teams grant? A: Yes, the California Department of Aging and other state agencies offer a range of programs and services to support older adults, including nutrition programs, transportation services, and caregiver support.
