Christopher Lemon ~ Senior Services Millage

Episode Summary

April 22, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Christopher Lemon from the Ann Arbor Area Community Foundation who emphasizes the importance of sustainable funding and enhanced service coordination. This millage could facilitate the creation of a county “office of aging” to advocate for seniors in budgetary processes. The discussion also underscores the need for data collection, transparency, and improved services such as transportation, meal delivery, affordable caregiving, food, and housing for seniors. While the foundation does not explicitly endorse the millage, it advocates for sustainable funding through various avenues, supported by strong relationships among nonprofit leaders and officials.
