Vermont accd grants have previously supported initiatives that improve access to services in rural areas.

The Vermont Agency of Human Services is working to develop public awareness campaigns and educational programs to address this need. By improving awareness and education, Vermont can reduce the incidence of elder abuse and improve outcomes for older adults.
