If no volunteer is available to assist a person entitled to assistance under this section because of his participation as a volunteer in the program established under section 208.300, and such unavailability has been verified by the division, the division, or an agency approved by the division, may obtain paid assistance for such person. Such paid assistance shall be at a rate which is no higher than the prevailing reimbursable rate established by the state for a unit of in-home services.
