Centre County commissioners voted to approve a grant agreement with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging for older-adult services during the board meeting.
County staff described the award as the primary state block grant that funds a large share of the county's older-adult services. The transcript lists an amount, but the figure as read in the meeting appears to contain a formatting error; county staff emphasized that the grant represents the bulk of state funding for the county's aging programs and that the award covers services through June 30, 2026.
Why it matters: the funding supports congregate and home-delivered services, case management and other programs the county identified as core to serving older residents. County staff said the funds are considered necessary services and that the county has received partial state payments while the state budget process continues.
The board approved the grant agreement by voice vote.
