Lombard, IL – AgeGuide Northeastern Illinois will hold public hearings on Thursday, April 4 and Friday, April 5, 2024, on its proposed Area Plan for FY25-27 for older adults in its eight-county service area. The public hearings will be held both in person and virtually. Attendees can register at www.AgeGuide.org/events.
The purpose of the public hearings is to provide an open forum for the public to comment on the Public Information Document which contains the proposed service design, delivery, and the associated fund distributions, and other activities in which AgeGuide anticipates involvement. Public Hearings offer the opportunity to review the document and provide comments and questions on proposed services, expenditures and other activities as outlined in the FY25-27 Area Plan.

The proposed allocation amounts posted in the Public Information Document are subject to change due to increases or decreases in federal or state appropriations or updated demographic information. The proposed allocations are also subject to be changed by AgeGuide’s Board of Directors based on public hearing testimony, at the request of a county’s service providers, or upon the recommendations of AgeGuide’s Advisory Council or the Board’s Planning Committee.
