The Ware Council on Aging recorded that it has applied for a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for $100,000 and received initial committee approval for $50,000, with further approval pending from PVPC, according to meeting minutes recorded by C. Haigh, secretary.
If awarded, the minutes say the grant would run on a two‑year cycle and fund three main programs: lowering meal costs for seniors, offering monthly community dinner meals at the senior center, and providing support to Western Mass Elder Care home health services to offset costs not covered by Medicare or Medicaid. The minutes do not specify exact budget line items, a vendor, or a project manager for the funds.
