Money Management
| Program/Service description | The Delaware Money Management Program is cosponsored by the Division of Services for the Aging and Adults with Physical Disabilities and AARP Foundation. This program offers money management assistance to help low-income seniors and adults with physical disabilities who have difficulty budgeting, paying routine bills and keeping track of financial matters. The program’s goal is to promote and prolong independent living for individuals who are at risk of losing their independence due to inability to manage their financial affairs. The program uses volunteers to assist individuals who do not have friends or relatives able or willing to help. |
