Requirements for the Title VI Program

  • 55 years or older
  • Spouses of eligible elders
  • Complete an intake form
  • Individuals with disabilities who reside at home with older individuals eligible for services

     
Home-Delivered Meals Program Participants
Elders should only be on the home delivered meal program if they are unable to leave their homes without great difficulty. Their inability to leave home may be because of illness, disability, or general fragility. They may be home bound because they cannot ride comfortably in an available vehicle for the time it takes to get to the congregate site because of their fragility.
