Medically-friendly meals and social supports

CHRT has received funding from the federal Administration for Community Living and the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation to expand and enhance a local collaborative that provides medically-friendly meals, and referrals to home and community-based services, to vulnerable seniors and individuals with disabilities. In the pilot program, which occurred in 2020, program participants in Washtenaw County received a health and social services needs assessment, home-delivered medically-friendly meals, and referrals to home and community-based services to meet additional needs. The expanded project will reach vulnerable populations in additional counties with high levels of poverty and significant aging populations, and provide medically-tailored meals and social service connections.
