June 6, 2026 Washtenaw County Commission on Aging Meeting

The Washtenaw County Commission on Aging held a meeting on June 6, 2026, focusing primarily on senior services and the implications of the upcoming senior millage funding. Key procurement-related discussions included the presentation by Catholic Charities on their senior services programs, which encompass home maintenance, safety services, resource navigation, and volunteer caregiver respite programs. The organization highlighted its reliance on federal funding, particularly ARPA funds, and discussed challenges related to funding sustainability and potential expansion through partnerships or insurance reimbursements. The commission also deliberated on the allocation and eligibility criteria for senior center funding under the millage, addressing concerns about equity between urban and rural areas, the establishment of new senior centers by municipalities, and the need for clear guidelines to prevent duplication of services. Subcommittees are tasked with developing recommendations on these funding and eligibility issues to inform future millage allocations. No specific contract awards or RFPs were mentioned, but the discussions indicate ongoing planning for budget allocations and program funding related to senior services in the county.
