Blueprint for Aging awarded PREVNT grant for Elder Abuse Prevention

The Blueprint for Aging, a planning and coordinating collaborative sponsored by Catholic Social Services of Washtenaw County and Washtenaw Coordinated Funders, is proud to announce the award of a $22,968 PREVNT grant to develop a community-based interdisciplinary team to address elder abuse prevention locally for the next six months.Funding for the grant was provided by the State of Michigan’s Office of Services to the Aging (OSA). As a part of Michigan’s effort to prevent the growing crime of elder abuse, the OSA established the “Prevent Elder and Vulnerable Adult Abuse, Exploitation, Neglect Today” (PREVNT) initiative. PREVNT is funding a small number of projects across Michigan this year, and the Blueprint for Aging is pleased to be a part of this initiative.
