Formula Grant 2501TXOACM

This federal Formula Grant award of $63,665,926.00 was provided by the Administration on Aging, a civilian agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services program (CFDA 93.045). The grant funding supports comprehensive nutrition services for older adults in the state of Texas, including the delivery of nutritious meals, nutrition education, and other supportive services. The goal is to help seniors maintain their health, independence, and quality of life by enabling them to remain in their homes and communities, thereby avoiding more costly institutional care and supporting overall senior wellness. The grant period spans from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. The primary award recipient is the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), which will subsequently distribute sub-awards to local Area Agencies on Aging, community organizations, and non-profit partners to implement the senior nutrition services at the community level across the state.
