Isabella County Commission on Aging Unmet Needs Program

How it works

The Isabella County Commission on Aging says its Unmet Needs program helps older adults with emergency or ongoing expenses that they cannot otherwise cover. The page describes the program as funded by the Saginaw / Chippewa Tribal Unit and the Friends of Isabella Seniors. It is presented as direct assistance for expenses rather than a loan.

The county says the program can help with expenses such as:

• prescription medications
• utility bills
• minor home repairs
• medical expenses

It also says additional funding may be available for dental, utility, and other unmet needs.

What the money covers

For home-hardening purposes, the concrete repair-related item listed is minor home repairs. The page does not describe which repairs qualify, whether materials or labor are covered, or whether the work must be performed by a particular contractor.

Amounts and matching

The source does not give a dollar cap, payment amount, or match requirement.

How to apply

The page instructs interested residents to contact the Program Manager, Chrystal Marshall, by email or by telephone at (989) 772-0748 for more information.

Timing and deadlines

No application window, deadline, open date, or close date is stated on the page.
