Explanation
(This amendment provides $1.0 million the first year and $1.5 million the second year from the general fund to address the needs of elderly Virginians who receive services through Area Agencies on Aging. This amendment offsets the loss of federal resources due to decennial changes in federal funding. As a result of this amendment, all AAAs will receive additional funding from state or federal resources.)
