Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Aging (AoA) awarded Indiana Family and Social Services Administration (FSSA) $3,516,286 through the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services program (CFDA 93.045) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This formula grant supports the delivery of congregate meals and related nutrition services to older Americans throughout Indiana. Under the Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III framework, FSSA administers nutrition services designed to maintain health, independence, and quality of life among seniors, including nutritious meals, nutrition education, nutrition counseling, and other appropriate nutrition interventions.

FSSA distributes these funds to local service providers, including Lifestream Services Inc. (doing business as Area 6 Council on Aging), which received subawards effective February 10, 2026, to provide meals to older Americans in the region. As a mandatory formula award requiring adherence to 45 CFR Part 1321 and biennial to quadrennial State Plans with annual revisions, this grant obligates FSSA to maintain comprehensive records for three years following final expenditure reporting and comply with applicable federal audit requirements. The funding supports FSSA's role in coordinating nutrition service delivery across multiple Area Agencies on Aging and nonprofit organizations throughout Indiana's urban, suburban, rural, and frontier communities.
