Unmet
Needs
Sometimes people cannot afford to buy costly items such as hearing
aids, ramps, eye glasses, and dentures. Yet, these items would make
a huge difference in the quality of life for the person needing
them. The State of Michigan has some very limited funds for such
items. NOCCOA works with the Area Agency on Aging and other local
agencies to try to find funding for such one time, big ticket items
referred to as Unmet Needs. This program has an income and asset
limit requirement to qualify, and the Senior will be responsible
to help pay a small portion of this cost.
A person needs to meet with a Case Coordinator to determine availability
of these funds. For the Grand Haven office call 616-842-9210 and
in Coopersville call 616-997-1786.
On a very limited basis, for millage supported area residents only,
NOCCOA can help with emergency unmet needs. If you think you qualify,
contact a Case Coordinator to determine the availability of these
funds. For Grand Haven, call 616-842-9210. For the Coopersville
office, call 616-997-1786. |
