Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Department of Elder Affairs Florida received a $10.32 million formula grant award from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B, Grants for Supportive Services and Senior Centers program (CFDA 93.044). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports comprehensive, community-based supportive services designed to help Florida's older adults remain independent in their homes and communities. Core services delivered through this funding include transportation, in-home assistance, multipurpose senior center programming, and other supportive services that maximize informal support networks for seniors.

The Department of Elder Affairs Florida distributes these formula grant funds to 11 Area Agencies on Aging across the state, including entities serving North Central Florida, Southwest Florida, North Florida, Northwest Florida, Pasco-Pinellas, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties, Northeast Florida, Broward County, Central Florida, and Palm Beach/Treasure Coast regions. Sub-grantees use the funding to deliver home-delivered and congregate meals, disease prevention and health promotion services, caregiver support programs, elder abuse prevention initiatives, and additional assistance to enable seniors to live with dignity and independence. The formula-based allocation, established by statute and approved through state planning processes, ensures consistent funding to support aging services infrastructure across Florida's diverse geographic and demographic areas.
