Senior nutrition programs face threat from House bill
Suburban Area Agency on Aging warns new congressional legislation would turn the Senior Nutrition Program into a block grant alongside welfare programs. The Home Delivered Meals and Congregate Dining served hundreds of thousands of seniors in suburban Cook County in 1994, with requirements tied to income. Officials fear funding shifts and loss of local control could jeopardize services for aging residents.
