The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL) awarded the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services a $8,441,971 Formula Grant under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers program (CFDA 93.044). This two-year grant, effective October 1, 2024, supports the development and maintenance of comprehensive, community-based service systems to help older adults in Michigan maintain independence and improve their quality of life.
The grant funding enables Michigan to provide a wide range of supportive services, including nutrition assistance, transportation, health promotion, caregiver support, elder rights protection, and long-term care ombudsman programs. Michigan frequently sub-awards portions of the grant to local Area Agencies on Aging, non-profit organizations, and community service providers to deliver targeted services at the local level. Key sub-awardees include Regional Area Agencies on Aging, county health departments, and community service organizations across Michigan, which use the funding to offer comprehensive aging services, Medicare/Medicaid counseling, COVID-19 vaccine outreach, nursing home transition support, and programs to reduce social isolation among older adults.
