The Ohio Department of Job & Family Services (ODJFS) received a $516,344 federal block grant award under the Elder Justice Act - Adult Protective Services (CFDA 93.698) program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living. This two-year grant, with a performance period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2026, aims to enhance and improve coordinated systems of adult protective services provided by the state and local communities for older adults and adults with disabilities. The funding will support activities focused on investigating reports of abuse and exploitation, providing temporary safe havens for vulnerable adults, and connecting victims to critical support services. As the designated state agency, ODJFS will implement these adult protective services programs and leverage sub-awards to local government entities, non-profits, and community organizations across Ohio's 88 counties to deliver services directly to residents.
