SB 22-185

Senate Bill 22-185, also known as "Security For Colorado Seniors," changes the name of a state grant program from the Area Agency on Aging Grant Program to the Strategic Investments in Aging Grant Program. This change allows for ongoing support of projects that help older Coloradans by promoting their health and well-being. The bill also ensures that funding continues indefinitely through renaming a cash fund and continuously appropriating money to the Department of Human Services for these programs. Since it has been signed into law, this means that the new grant program is now in effect and will support initiatives aimed at improving the lives of older adults across Colorado.
