Abstract
Description
Delaware’s growing elderly population
presents significant issues for
state and local governments,
community organizations, and the
general public. In response to the
growing diversity and complexity of
the state’s older citizenry, it is essential
for key players of these groups to
understand how current and projected
population trends will directly impact
future appropriation levels calculated
from Delaware’s Grant-in-Aid Senior
Center Funding Formula. Also
important to consider is how demographic
shifts among the state’s jurisdictions
will place new burdens on
individual communities and local organizations
serving residents.
