OKLAHOMA CAPITOL --- The Aging Services Division requests applicants for $527,392 in state funds to supplement and expand the federally funded National Senior Service Corps programs. Currently 21 programs throughout the state receive funding.
Programs funded by the Corporation for National and Community Service Senior Corps include Foster Grandparent Programs, Senior Companion Programs and Retired Senior Volunteer Programs.
The Foster Grandparent and the Senior Companion programs provide senior citizens who meet specific income guidelines an opportunity to receive a modest stipend for services they provide to some of our state’s more vulnerable citizens.
Applicants for the state funds must already be an approved program funded through the Corporation for National and Community Service. Application must be made in writing and in accordance with federal and state guidelines.
To apply for these funds, contact Carey Garland, Director of Aging Services, at OKDHS Aging Services Division, 2401 NW 23rd St., Suite 40, Oklahoma City, OK 73107, (405) 522-4209 or Carey.Garland@OKDHS.org.
