As we continue to research the resources available to help people age at home, we've discovered the following:
Choices for Independence White Paper
On a new act for helping seniors with independent living. Update on Aging Americans Act. Lots of fed. Funds available.

White paper on community support for aging in place, including grants, foundations, faith-based organizations and initiatives and resources:

It's always amazing to me to discover how much information exisits on any one topic, once I start to look for it. Obviously, there are many ways to help people stay in their homes as they age. The big question is how to harness all the information and energy. What model do we follow?
Once again, we're just volunteers pursuing an idea. This is not an official church mission. At least, not yet.
