Public comment is being sought on the budget for a local non-profit that provides services for older adults and seniors, people with disabilities, and family caregivers across the region.

AgeWays Non-profit Senior Services invites the public to comment on its multi-year plan to spend approximately $26.4 (M) million annually in state and federal funds for critical senior services in fiscal years 2027-2029.

Older adults, family caregivers, senior advocates, senior care professionals and anyone else may give input.

The AgeWays service area includes Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, and Washtenaw counties.

Some of the top priorities for the next three years are improving access to and navigation of senior services and strengthening community partnerships.
