To support older adults, caregivers, and people with disabilities to live at home and in the community through services, resources, partnerships, and funding.
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.
Nutrition and meal programs are a major part of the agency’s grantmaking. Lifebridge Community Services Inc in Bridgeport received $1,973,063 in 2023, $2,058,151 in 2024, and $2,390,496 in 2025 for nutrition service, showing a sustained commitment to food-related support for older adults. The agency also backs social-service and caregiver-support work. Team Inc in Derby received $616,555 in 2023 and $681,072 in 2025 for social service, while Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers in Hamden received $70,000 in 2023 and 2024 and $182,400 in 2025. Legal protection is another visible area: New Haven Legal Assistance received grants for legal services in New Haven, and Connecticut Veteran Legal Center in West Haven received repeated legal grants. Health-related outreach appears as well through Monitor My Health Inc in Bridgeport and Griffin Hospital Lifeline Program in Derby.
Typical award size sits around the middle of the range at a median of $33,664, with the 25th percentile at $25,000 and the 75th percentile at $70,000. The recent record shows a mix of large, recurring operating support and smaller grants for local providers. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Lifebridge Community Services Inc, Team Inc, Mary Wade at Home, Monitor My Health Inc, Interfaith Volunteer Care Givers, New Haven Legal Assistance, and Connecticut Veteran Legal Center. The agency gives through program structures tied to aging services, including Older Americans Act Title III Grants and Alzheimer’s Aide Grants. Older Americans Act Title III Grants accept unsolicited applications; Alzheimer’s Aide Grants do not.
