Delaware County Office Of Services For The Aging

Delaware County Office Of Services For The Aging (Cosa), a U.S. local government county office based in Eddystone, Pennsylvania, is a public entity dedicated to providing comprehensive aging and community services. Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since December 2010, the organization focuses on supporting senior citizens and community welfare through various federal and state-supported programs. As a county-level government entity, Cosa plays a critical role in delivering essential services to older adults and vulnerable populations in Delaware County.

Cosa has been the recipient of multiple federal grant awards, primarily from the Corporation for National and Community Service's AmeriCorps Seniors Foster Grandparent Program and through sub-grant agreements with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging. The organization's federal grant work encompasses a wide range of services, including the Foster Grandparent Program, which engages volunteers aged 55 and older in mentoring and tutoring children with special needs or academic challenges. Additionally, Cosa receives sub-grant awards for various Title III and Title VII programs, such as Supportive Services, Congregate Meals, Home-Delivered Meals, Preventive Health, Family Caregiver Support, Ombudsman Services, and Elder Abuse prevention. The organization also participates in the Title XIX Medicaid Waiver Program through the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, providing community-based care management for eligible consumers. These grants demonstrate Cosa's comprehensive approach to supporting seniors, families, and vulnerable populations through strategic federal and state funding mechanisms.
