The grant was made avail- able by the Meyer Memorial Trust (MMT) which awarded $100,000 to the organization. The grant was allocated to contribute to the completion of 48 home repair and disabil- ity modification projects in Florence. Ken Gaylord, Director of the Aging in Place program said, “Our small Florence Hab- itat affiliate is so proud, It is wonderful to recieve this kind of recognition for programs that make a difference in the lives of our senior citizens.” Florence is one of two communities in the state that recived the MMT grant. The process for recieving this grant began in 2014 with the roll-out of the FHFH “Neighborhood Revitaliza- tion and Home Repair Pro- gram.” This program proved to be so successful that it was used as the model for the grant winning “Aging in Place” program.
