By 2029, nearly 25% of Kalamazoo County residents will be aged 60 or older. With older adults preferring to age in their community, the Senior Millage enhances quality of life and fosters an age-friendly Kalamazoo. The Senior Millage is administered through the Kalamazoo County Health & Community Services Department, Area Agency on Aging, Region 3A.
The Kalamazoo County Area Agency on Aging, Region 3A, is one of 16 Area Agencies on Aging in the State of Michigan that support older adults who want to age in their home. Region 3A services are funded by the Older Americans Act, State Grants, and the Kalamazoo County Senior Millage.
