The award funds development and implementation of comprehensive, coordinated community-based systems of service for older individuals across Washington State via area planning and provision of supportive services including outreach, information and assistance, transportation, in-home services, and elder rights services. The program objective is to maximize informal support provided to older adults to enable them to remain in their homes and communities.

This is a formula grant. The Department of Social & Health Services administers the award with place of performance in Washington State and distributes sub-grants to regional entities including Area Agencies on Aging, county governments, and councils of governments. Named sub-recipients include the City of Seattle Human Services Department, Washington State Department of Commerce, County of Kitsap, County of Snohomish, Olympic Area Agency On Aging, County of Pierce, Aging and Long Term Care of Eastern Washington (County of Spokane), Northwest Regional Council, the SW Washington Council of Governments On Aging and Disabilities, Aging & Adult Care of Central Washington, and Southeast Washington Aging and Long Term Care Council of Governments. Sub-recipients deliver the same supportive services—congregate and home-delivered meals, nutrition counseling, caregiver support, transportation, in-home services, information and referral, health promotion, and elder rights advocacy—to older adults across Washington's geographic regions.
