Description

This funding opportunity is designed to support organizations in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, that assist older adults in maintaining independent, safe, and dignified lives. Grants are intended for programs that:

• Ensure access to elder care regardless of ability to pay.
• Provide supportive services in institutional, community-based, or home settings.
• Offer education and training for elder care workers.
• Develop or distribute assistive technology (e.g., medical alerts, medication management tools).
• Prevent elder abuse and neglect.
• Meet seniors’ basic needs (food, clothing, shelter).
• Facilitate community-based healthcare for seniors.
• Provide direct care for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias.

The initiative responds to the region’s high concentration of older adults and the increasing demand for comprehensive home and community-based supports.
