| Description |
Senior centers are certified as either a Center of Merit or Center of Excellence based on a measurable set of standards. Centers of Merit meet all the requirements of the Home and Community Care Block Grant and provide very high-quality services. Centers of Excellence meet the standards set for the level of Merit and provide exemplary services and serve as mentors and models to other senior centers. Each senior center receives an equal 'share' or amount of funding. Uncertified centers receive one share; Centers of Merit, two shares; and Centers of Excellence, three shares. Senior centers receive the funding through Area Agencies on Aging. A total of 164 senior centers are receiving funding. All awards require a 25% local match. |
