FUNDING & ?SUPPORT
The many services
of LaGrange County Council
on Aging are made possible
through funding by various funding sources. The largest budgeted
item for LCCOA is for the LaGrange
County Area Transit (LCAT). Sixtynine percent of funding received
by LCCOA is derived from a rural
transportation grant.
According to the LaGrange County
Council on Aging, federal and state
dollars are assigned through agreements with Aging and In Home Services
of Northeast Indiana. These funds are
made up of Social Services Block
Grants (SSBG), Choice, Medicaid Waiver and IIIB. The Indiana Department of
Transportation (INDOT) provides financial assistance for capital purchases
through sections 5310 and 5311 with a
requirement for local matches. Section
5311 provides funds for operations for
public/rural transportation programs.
The LaGrange County Commissioners
also provide financial assistance for
the LCAT system.
Many other local organizations
provide general financial support to
LCCOA. Those organizations that
have donated grants and funds are,
Parkview LaGrange Hospital, LaGrange
County Community Foundation, IU
Health System, LaGrange County
REMC (through their Operation
Round-Up campaign), and LaGrange
United Fund, as well as many local
businesses, churches and individuals.
