The Area Agency on Aging is developing a plan for the delivery of services to older adults in Garfield, Mesa, Moffat, Rio Blanco and Routt counties. The Area Agency on Aging may have available $2,299,609 for the 2020-2021 service period from July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021. After a review of existing services, needs, and available resources, the Area Agency on Aging will make awards in the areas of:

• Community services, such as home care, transportation, legal, ombudsman, adult day care, elder abuse prevention and more

• Congregate nutrition programs



• Home-delivered meal programs

• Health promotion and disease prevention



• Services to support family caregivers

• Other community living services

The amount allocated is subject to change pending availability of funds due to Federal or State budget developments.

Applications can be made at https://region11.oaa-sys.com/region11/rfp/public/Login.aspx.

Applications will be made available on the website from Thursday, Feb. 6 to 5 p.m. Friday, March 6. Applications can be made only at the above URL and will not be accepted through any other means.

A proposer’s conference will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Feb. 6. Attendance by at least one staff person of a program applying for funds is required in order to be considered for funding.
