MNRAAA Grant and Contract Administration

Title III Older American Act funds are awarded by MNRAAA through grants/contracts to local public and/or non-profit organizations to develop or expand the range of community-based programs and services for older adults (60+) and their caregivers.  Funds are to be used to expand the range of community-based programs and services designed to maintain the independence of older persons in a home environment, to fill gaps in existing services and to contribute to the development of comprehensive and coordinated system of services.

As part of the grant/contract process, MNRAAA goes through a periodic process of identification of needs, setting priorities, developing a plan, and instituting a selection process to best meet the identified priority needs.  Administration of grants involves quarterly and annual monitoring, technical assistance and coordination.
