About Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut
Agency on Aging of South Central Connecticut directs federal Older Americans Act funding into services that help older adults remain safe and independent in their homes and communities. Its largest recent awards show the scale of that role: Lifebridge Community Services Inc in Bridgeport received $2,390,496 in 2025 for nutrition service, and Team Inc in Derby received $847,167 in 2024 for social service. The pattern is not limited to one type of support. The agency also funds legal aid, outreach, health promotion, senior center programming, and in-home or community-based assistance across south central Connecticut. The grant portfolio reflects an organization that works through local providers rather than individuals. Recurring awards to the same organizations point to multi-year support for ongoing services, including repeated funding for Mary Wade at Home, Monitor My Health Inc, New Haven Legal Assistance, and Connecticut Veteran Legal Center. Other awards reach community organizations serving older adults and related populations, such as Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers, The Towers, and Milford Senior Center. The overall picture is a regional aging-services funder focused on practical support delivered through agencies already embedded in the service area.
