United Church Homes Expands NaviGuide Access With New Columbus Grants

United Church Homes has received $15,000 in grant funding to expand subsidized access to its NaviGuide service coordination program for low-income older adults in the Columbus area. The funding includes $10,000 from The Columbus Foundation’s Edythe G. Alberty Fund and $5,000 from The Harry C. Moores Foundation, allowing eligible older adults and families in Franklin and Delaware counties to access NaviGuide services at reduced cost.

NaviGuide provides personalized guidance to help older adults and their families navigate health care, housing, and community-based services. The new grants will support short-term subsidies for approximately 51 older adults who might otherwise be unable to afford the program. United Church Homes reports that prior NaviGuide subsidies helped individuals secure stable housing, connect to medical and dental care, and renew Medicaid coverage. More information about the program is available through NaviGuide service coordination on the United Church Homes website.
