“1/29/25 Update: CNN is reporting and it has been independently confirmed that the freeze on federal grants and loans has been rescinded by the Administrative Branch per a memo from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). We will continue to update.”
********************************
We are aware of the troubling news out of Washington DC this morning with respect to the pausing of all federal grants. At this point it is unclear what if any impact this will have on the programs funded by or provided by the Area Agencies on Aging. We are working with our state and federal partners to provide the most accurate and up-to-date information as soon as it is available. As we await additional details, please take a moment to reach out to CT’s federal legislative contingent. We are fortunate to have a delegation that has been very supportive of issues of importance to older adults and their families. Now is a great time to let them know you appreciate their leadership, and to ensure that they continue to strongly advocate for CT’s older adults.
