The plan has been prepared, reviewed, and approved by the HCCBG Advisory Committee. The Department of Human Services serves as the lead agency for the Home and Community Care Block Grant. The lead agency's primary role is to organize the committee, develop the funding plan for the grant and seek approval from the Board of Commissioners for the funding plan. The Home and Community Care Block Grant serves citizens ages 60 and older and promotes health and well-being services for qualified recipients. The grant is administered by the N.C. Division of Aging and Adult Services (TARS). The grant provides local flexibility in that the advisory committee and the Board of Commissioners can set priorities for services the grant will fund.
