In Pima County, significant cuts in funding for in-home and community-based services for older adults will stop the delivery of basic needs to vulnerable older adults, including access to home-delivered meals and congregate meals, home repairs, personal care, housekeeping, respite for caregivers, transportation, legal assistance, and more.
