About Region Ii Commission on Services to the Aging
Three service channels define Region II Commission on Services to the Aging’s recent funding: care services for older adults, legal services, and transportation. Across the latest grants listed, the largest awards repeatedly go to county aging departments and senior service centers that deliver direct support for people who are older, homebound, or living with disabilities. The pattern is consistent over several years, with one county agency in Jackson receiving $1,304,779 in 2025 after similar awards of $1,294,025 in 2024 and $1,270,977 in 2023. Lenawee County Department on Aging also appears across multiple years, including $1,105,143 in 2024 and $952,818 in 2023, both for care services for older adults. The foundation’s grantmaking is tied to service delivery rather than individuals, and its active programs show a mix of competitive RFPs and provider-enrollment pathways for aging-related services. Its stated summary centers on supporting older adults, adults with disabilities, and their caregivers to live safely and independently, which is reflected in the mix of home-based supports, nutrition, caregiver help, and elder-abuse-related services in the data.
What Region Ii Commission on Services to the Aging Funds
Aging services are the clearest throughline in the portfolio. County aging offices in Jackson, Lenawee, and Hillsdale receive the largest service grants for care services for older adults, indicating sustained support for local area-agency-style delivery. Legal support is another recurring area: the Michigan Advocacy Program received grants for legal services in 2023, 2024, and 2025, showing a multi-year commitment to older adults who need help with rights, benefits, or related legal issues. Transportation also appears in the grant list, with Catholic Charities of Jackson funded for transportation services in each of the three years shown. Beyond those named awards, the active grant programs reference nutrition, home- and community-based supports, caregiver programs, Safe Haven and elder abuse support, and evidence-based disease prevention, all within a local service-delivery framework.
How Region Ii Commission on Services to the Aging Gives
