San Jose's Older Adult Health and Wellness Grant Program, which supports nonprofits aiding older adults with health and social services, is threatened by $526,434 budget cuts. The city's budget deficit of $36 million has led to proposed reductions in funding that could eliminate this essential program. Nonprofits like Yu-Ai Kai provide critical support to older adults, especially those facing social isolation or dementia. Advocates argue that such services are vital for not just survival, but the overall well-being and engagement of seniors in the community.
The city of San Jose is projecting a $36 million budget shortfall in the next fiscal year, prompting proposed cuts to vital programs for older adults.
We're not just talking about older adults living, we're talking about them thriving. It's really about advocating for our seniors, but also to create a more healthy life for them.
