Title III (B-D-E)

The Older Americans Act (OAA) was signed into law on July 14, 1965. The original Act created the Administration on Aging and authorized grants to states for community planning, services, research, and demonstration and training projects in the field of aging. Later amendments provided grants to area agencies on aging for local needs identification, planning and funding of services. The Act was reauthorized and amended in 2000, at which time the National Family Caregiver Support Program was established to support family, friends and neighbors caring for an older person as well as for grandparents and other older relatives caring for children.

​

DSAAA has been designated by the Minnesota Board on Aging (MBA) as the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for the Northwest Planning and Service Area in Minnesota.

​

As a state-designated AAA, DSAAA administers OAA funds and is responsible for the development of a coordinated and comprehensive system of services for older adults and their caregivers in Kittson, Roseau, Lake of the Woods, Marshall, Pennington, Polk, Beltrami, Clearwater, Red Lake, Norman, Mahnomen, Hubbard, Becker, Clay, Wilkin, Otter Tail, Grant, Stevens, Traverse, Douglas, and Pope Counties. To accomplish this, DSAAA awards Title III OAA funding to agencies and organizations that provide direct services for older people (age 60+) and their caregivers.

BIDDERS CONFERENCE – 10am on Monday, September 27th via ZOOM

​

Older adults and their caregivers are key members of our society, community, and family. The pandemic has taught us that when we work together, we can successfully support and assist those in need.  If your organization is interested in continuing to support older adults and their caregivers or in implementing a new service, MNRAAA encourages you to submit a 2022 Title III application.  Together, we can assist older adults in maintaining the lifestyle of their choice.
