A public hearing to offer comments on Tennessee's Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) Application has been scheduled. The plan, needed to draw down federal SSBG funds, can be found on the DHS website at https://www.tn.gov/humanservices/for-families/social-services-block-grant.html
Public comments can be submitted through August 21, 2018 via e-mail to Mamawah.L.Hill@tn.gov or by phone at 615-532-1605.
SSBG is 100 percent federally funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The program, available in all 95 Tennessee counties and administered through contracts with a network of nonprofit and government agencies, provides funding for eligible citizens for various programs, including adult daycare and homemaker services.
Services are limited to low- income elderly and disabled adults.
