If the eligible applicant is age 55+ or has an older adult (55+) living in the household, an additional $100 is available for a maximum grant of up to $500. Additionally, those facing certain financial hardships may be eligible for extra grant funding. Make an appointment with your local agency to see what your household may qualify for.
