Calhoun County Senior Millage. . . Funding Services
for Seniors Calhoun County voters have provided funds through a
senior millage levy. The senior millage was first passed in 1996, and
then renewed in 2000 and 2006. The Calhoun County Board of commissioners
designed the millage to be utilized for the purpose of providing funds
for planning, coordinating, evaluating, and providing services to
Calhoun County residents aged 60 and over. Annually, a request for
proposal process determines what agencies and services will be funded.
The funding provides for the needs of Calhoun County seniors that cannot
be met by the resources of the individual, the senior’s family,
volunteers, charitable organizations, or through state or federal
programs.
The Senior Millage Allocation Committee, comprised of three county
commissioners and ten (10) Calhoun County residents, has been appointed
by the Calhoun County Board of Commissioners to develop funding
recommendations, identify seniors needs, and ensure that senior millage
funding is being appropriately utilized by providers.

for more information. The Office of Senior Services monitors
providers, educates and informs the Allocation Committee, and advocates
for needed services in the community.
Senior millage-funded programs are available to anyone living in
Calhoun County who is aged 60 or older. Some programs have additional
income and program requirements. Although all of the services are
available free to Calhoun County residents, donations are appreciated
and help extend what services can be provided.
