The April 1, 2022 through September 30, 2024 Project Grant will support expansion of the public health workforce within Maine's disability networks to promote and protect the health of older adults and people with disabilities in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A $25,000 sub-award was provided to United Somali Women of Maine to deliver these public health services. The funding will help test innovative programs and services through Maine's Aging and Disability Resource Center and "No Wrong Door" system to meet the needs of the state's growing elderly and disabled populations impacted by coronavirus.
