- About the amount
- No per-person dollar cap for most HCCBG services — hours/meals/rides depend on assessment and county funding. Exception: Housing and Home Improvement is capped at $7,000/person/program year (S2-NC-02).
- Housing rules
- Most services have no housing rule; Housing and Home Improvement requires written landlord permission for renters.
- How long it takes
- Not published statewide; meals/rides move fastest, in-home aide slowest.
- How to apply
- Call your Area Agency on Aging and ask which HCCBG services your county funds and who the local provider is, or call your county aging office/senior center directly, or dial 211.
- Does not pay for
- No property taxes, rent, bills, big remodels, or cash stipend. Only what your specific county chose to fund with its HCCBG allocation.
