The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) announced it has awarded $8.6 million in Live Well at Home grants to help older Minnesotans remain in their homes rather than move to nursing homes or other more expensive settings. Several of the award recipients are LeadingAge Minnesota members. 

“We are grateful to the many organizations that partner with us to improve the lives of older adults throughout the state, and we are pleased to be able to support their efforts, and those of their many dedicated volunteers, with Live Well at Home grants,” said DHS Commissioner Tony Lourey.

The Live Well at Home program has distributed the state-appropriated grants since 2001. The latest grant funds are going to 54 organizations. To see the list of recipients, read Live Well at Home Grants
