Agency On Aging Of South Central Connecticut, Inc.

Agency On Aging Of South Central Connecticut, Inc., a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in North Haven, Connecticut, operates as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient focused on aging services, elder nutrition, caregiver support, and Medicare fraud prevention for seniors in South Central Connecticut. The organization holds prime grants from the Corporation for National and Community Service and the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL), and serves as a sub-recipient on multiple grants from Connecticut's Department of Aging and Disability Services.

The organization's primary mission centers on supporting adults aged 55 and older through concrete aging services grounded in the Older Americans Act and AmeriCorps programs. Prime grant work includes a $126,753 award from the Corporation for National and Community Service for the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) under CFDA 94.002, running through March 31, 2029, which recruits and manages volunteers aged 55 and older to provide mentoring, tutoring, workforce development assistance, food security support, and disaster relief. The organization also received AmeriCorps Seniors project grants under the Senior Companions Program (SCP) and the Foster Grandparents Program (FGP) starting July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027.

As a sub-recipient, the organization delivers services under Connecticut's Older Americans Act Titles III-B (supportive services and senior centers), III-C (congregate and home-delivered meals), III-D (disease prevention and health promotion), III-E (national family caregiver support), and VII (elder abuse prevention and protection) programs through grants awarded to the Department of Aging and Disability Services. The organization also administers the Connecticut CHOICES program (Health insurance assistance, Outreach, Information and referral, Counseling, Eligibility Screening) through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) and the Medicare Improvements for Patients and Providers Act (MIPPA) Initiative. Additional sub-recipient roles include managing the Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP) program, which educates Medicare beneficiaries and coordinates fraud and abuse prevention efforts. The organization distributes Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) funds and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Title III-C funds to elderly nutrition providers in its planning and service area, and awards OAA Title III-B funds to subcontractors for in-home services, transportation, legal assistance, and senior center operations.

Customer concentration is narrow and stable. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living and the Corporation for National and Community Service account for all 59 recorded awards (24 and 27 awards respectively, combining prime and sub work). The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $32.6 million. Recent award activity shows growth from two awards in 2021 to fifteen in 2025, with three awards in 2026. Only one award faces completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in that window. The organization operates as a sub-recipient on 54 percent of its award footprint, with prime grants anchoring 46 percent of awards. The organization has received federal grants continuously since 2002, establishing long-standing relationships with ACL and AmeriCorps as primary funding sources for aging-services delivery across Connecticut.
