Micro-Grant

The Senior Living Community Micro-Grant helps ease the financial strain that can make it difficult for seniors to move into—or stay in—their senior living community.

Eligible residents can receive up to $1,500 toward their first month’s rent or to remain in their community if they’re facing unexpected financial hardship.

Funds are paid directly to the community, helping ensure that every senior has the opportunity to live comfortably, receive the support they need, and continue to thrive in their community.
