Mission
The State Office for the Aging is responsible for promoting, coordinating and administering State, Federal and local programs and services to the elderly aged 60 and older and the families or other caregivers. The Office provides leadership and direction to 59 Area Agencies on Aging and various other local programs and providers that comprise the networks of services to the elderly.
Budget Highlights
The Executive Budget recommends $253.8 million for Aging. This is an increase of $5.1 million from the 2014-15 budget. The increase is largely a result of a planned cost-of-living increase for certain aging service providers ($6.5M) offset by the discontinuation of one-time legislative adds (-$1.1M).
The Executive Budget recommends a workforce of 95 FTEs for the Agency; although total FTEs remain unchanged from 2014-15, the Executive Budget recommends shifting support for 7 FTEs from the General Fund to Federal Funds in order to maximize the use of existing Federal resources.
