The Mid-Florida Area Agency On Aging, Inc., doing business as Elder Options, was awarded a $590,393 cooperative agreement from the Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women under the Enhanced Training and Services to End Violence and Abuse of Women Later in Life (CFDA 16.528) federal grant program. The award will support Elder Options' continuation of collaboration with project partners to address elder abuse through a multidisciplinary community response in Gainesville, Florida. Over the 36-month project period ending September 2025, Elder Options and its partners will conduct critical assessment and expansion of existing outreach and victim services to improve outcomes for older victims of abuse, including domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, exploitation, and neglect. The funding will allow Elder Options to strengthen training for legal and social services professionals while enhancing support for older victims through collaborative community responses.
