The federal government recognizes key challenges local governments face with managing an aging population, and is providing financing for state and local governments as a result. As highlighted in a tweet by Texas Rep. Dennis Bonnen, “TX… secured $16.2M in federal funds to provide meals for senior citizens during the… pandemic.” This is just one example of both state and federal dollars being used to ease economic and accessibility burdens faced by the elderly in the wake of COVID-19.
