TOP STORY: Vice President Biden Announces Release of Nearly $100 Million in Recovery Act Funding to Support Senior Nutrition Programs
Vice President Joe Biden announced today that the Department of Health and Human
Services will award $100 million in Recovery Act funding to provide meals to tens
of thousands of low-income older Americans in need. The funding is expected to provide
nearly 14 million meals nationwide.
“Across the country, older Americans depend
on senior centers and home delivery programs for regular, healthy meals. Today,
more senior citizens are in need, but the programs they depend on are on the brink
of reducing their services or closing down,” said Vice President Biden. “The Recovery
Act will help ensure older Americans are not forced to choose between paying bills
and buying food.”
The Recovery Act provides $65 million for congregate nutrition
services provided at senior centers and other community sites, $32 million for home
delivered nutrition services delivered to frail elders at home and $3 million for
Native American nutrition programs.
