Continuation of Services Funded Under Title III of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (ICPSR 8246)
Released/updated on: 2006-01-18
Geographic coverage: United States
This data collection examines the fates of services funded under Title III of the Older Americans Act if and when that source of funding is terminated. The main objectives of the study were to investigate the pattern of continuation of projects funded under the Title III program and the importance of various factors contributing to the continuation of Title III projects. The study covered 33 planning and service areas in 24 states and represented all ten federal regions. Members of 426 state agencies on aging, area agencies on aging, and service providers were interviewed. Information is provided on the extent to which projects actually had their Title III funds terminated, the providers' responses to termination, the actions precipitated by continuation at reduced levels, the extent of budgetary reductions, the impact of Title III funding termination on client group composition, and the effects of project types and services on project continuation. Variables in Part 1, the Service Provider survey, include the organization's area of service, the number of paid staff members, the number of older persons they assisted, the duration of their current or last Title III grant, and the Title III project's total budget in its last year. Area agencies and state units on aging (Parts 2 and 3, respectively) were asked questions about granting processes, such as the agencies involved, the logistics of extensions, and the involvement of local officials in replacing Title III funding by allocating public funds.

Released/updated on: 2006-01-12
Geographic coverage: United States
The National Data Base on Aging is a demonstration project designed to test the feasibility of a voluntary system for collecting information at the national level about the network of State and Area Agency on Aging programs. The effort is a joint undertaking of the National Association of State Units on Aging (NASUA) and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A), funded by the Administration on Aging. Questionnaires were mailed to all 57 State Units and 666 Area Agencies in September 1981. Topics included the staffing of the agencies, the types of funding used, and the types of services provided by the agencies. Part 1, Survey Data from State Units on Aging and State-Level Data from 1980 Census, contains survey data from the State Units on Aging and state-level data from the 1980 United States Census and Social Security Administration. Part 2, Survey of Area Agencies on Aging and Planning and Service Area-Level Data, contains data from the survey of Area Agencies on Aging along with Planning and Service Area (PSA)-level data from the census and Social Security. Part 3, Characteristics of Service Providers, contains information on service providers, including service delivery locations and grant or contract funding sources. Part 4, Characteristics of Services Provided, includes data for each of the distinct services provided directly or indirectly by Area Agencies on Aging.
