Halifax County Council on Aging Home and Community Care Block Grant-funded in-home services

How it works

The Halifax County Council on Aging is described as a voluntary group of adults 60 years of age or over, with a 15-member Board of Directors appointed by the Halifax County Board of Commissioners. The page says the Council’s programs are funded through the Home and Community Care Block Grant Funding Plan, which is made up of federal, state, and local funds.

What the services cover

The Council says its purpose is to help meet the needs of older adults through services such as:

• nutrition
• transportation
• health
• day care
• in-home services

The page explains that these services help people:

• get to necessary appointments
• receive resource information and case assistance
• ensure a good nutritional diet
• socialize
• be less isolated from peers and other groups
• remain in their homes or with their family

How to apply

The page does not provide a formal application process for a homeowner incentive or repair program. It does provide a contact number and invites residents to call with suggestions or support needs.

Timing and deadlines

No deadline, funding cap, waiting list, or application window is stated on the page.

Important limitation

This page describes supportive services for older adults, not a retrofit, mitigation, or repair grant for homeowners. No dollar amount, matching requirement, or covered home-improvement work is listed.
