Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) received a $1.598 million Formula Grant award from the Administration on Aging (also known as the Administration for Community Living) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part C, Nutrition Services program (CFDA 93.045). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, supports the delivery of home-delivered meal services to homebound older adults throughout Oregon. Home-delivered meals represent a critical component of the Older Americans Act (OAA) nutrition services, providing nutritious meals directly to seniors who are unable to access congregate meal programs, while also supporting nutrition education and counseling services designed to maintain health, independence, and quality of life among vulnerable elderly populations.

ODHS, as the state-level administering agency, distributes these entitlement funds through a statutory formula allocation system to local Area Agencies on Aging and community service providers. The award demonstrates the agency's established role as a fiscal intermediary for federal aging services funding. County of Clackamas, designated as a sub-awardee on December 10, 2025, serves as one of the local delivery partners responsible for implementing Older Americans Act services within its jurisdiction. Grant recipients are required to maintain comprehensive records for three years following final expenditure reporting and must comply with all applicable regulations under 45 CFR Part 1321 and audit requirements established under 2 CFR 200.
