EPT2-8

Sustainability Plan

You will need to develop a sustainability plan.

Must address how the Elder Protection Team (EPT) is funded
Depending on the EPT, some tribes have funding to cover staff (e.g., EPT Coordinator) travel costs, and meeting per diems. Unfortunately, many tribal EPTs do not have funds to support paid staff, but it is recommended to employ at least one paid staff person to serve as the coordinator and conduct administrative duties. This may be part-time or a portion of the individual’s duties, depending upon the workload
Another cost to consider is production and dissemination of meeting materials
Tribes may designate a small percentage of civil and criminal penalties in cases involving Elder abuse to be used to build an Elder Justice fund, which can go to supporting the EPT
