Bill > HB2379

This bill appropriates a total of $10 million from the state general fund to the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES) for fiscal year 2025-2026, specifically to be distributed to area agencies on aging. The funding is divided into two equal $5 million allocations: one for home and community-based services and another for senior housing assistance. Home and community-based services typically refer to programs that help elderly individuals receive care and support while remaining in their own homes or communities, rather than moving to institutional care settings. Senior housing assistance likely involves helping older adults access affordable and appropriate housing options. By allocating these funds, the bill aims to support the well-being and quality of life of Arizona's senior population by providing critical services and housing support through local area agencies on aging.
