Bloomfield Township Senior Services is proud to launch the Oakland County Senior Chore Pilot Program through a grant with Oakland County. Older adult chore services are important for maintaining independence, physical safety, financial welfare, and mental and emotional wellbeing that many seniors face as they age at home. Residents aged 62 and older with an income at or under 80% of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) area median income are eligible. Through staffing and contractors, Senior Services will
provide some or all of the following yard services: snow removal, lawn mowing, leaf clean up, bush trimming,
and gutter cleaning.
Following HUD data, a 2024 annual income of $53,700 for one person; $61,400 for two people; and
$69,050 for three people meet eligibility requirements. Individuals between 50 and 62 years of age with
a disability may be eligible. If the number of qualifying households exceeds the amount of available funds, stricter eligibility guidelines may be designed to serve those most in need. Additionally, as they have for years, Senior Services also offers Minor Home Repair through a Community Development Block Grant. Projects covered under this grant include furnace, chimney, porch, plumbing, and electrical repairs. Financial
guidelines exist for this program as well. To see if you qualify, please contact the Senior Center by phone at 248-723-3500 or via email at seniorservices@bloomfieldtwp.org.
