FY27 COA-Formula Grant NOI

The Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging and Independence is issuing a Notice of Intent for State Fiscal Year 2027 Formula Grants to local Councils on Aging (COAs). These grants are designed to support municipally appointed agencies that serve as local gateways to state and federal programs, providing essential services such as transportation, outreach, meals, health screenings, and recreational programs for older adults, their families, and caregivers. The total anticipated award across all COAs for SFY27 is 27,362,592.00 dollars, funded under appropriation line item 9110-9002. Funding is determined by a formula rate of 16.00 dollars per individual age 60 and over, based on the 2020 federal census, with a guaranteed minimum award of 8,000.00 dollars for all eligible COAs. To maintain eligibility, COAs must report their expenditures and final grant balances from the prior year using a form provided by the agency. This best value grant opportunity is managed by the Executive Office of Elder Affairs in Boston, with Stacey Sullivan serving as the primary contact person.
