The award funds a statewide system of supportive services and senior centers designed to enable older Americans to remain independent in their homes and communities. Services include transportation, in-home support, and multipurpose senior center operations delivered through a comprehensive, coordinated network coordinated by the State Agency on Aging and Area Agencies on Aging. Michigan Department of Health and Human Services administers and distributes funds to sub-state organizations and designated area agencies across Michigan counties and incorporated service regions.

The award carries a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with place of performance in Michigan. As a formula grant, the award is noncompetitive and derived from a statutory allocation to the State Agency on Aging based on an approved State Plan and intrastate funding formula.

Michigan Advocacy Program, a nonprofit legal services organization in Ypsilanti, received a sub-award to operate the State Long Term Care Ombudsman Program for 2026, providing advocacy and legal services for residents in long-term care facilities.
