Grant Overview
Connecticut's senior population is growing rapidly, with 17% of residents aged 65 or older. However, many seniors face barriers to accessing technology, with 40% lacking broadband access at home. To address this issue, the funding supports a digital literacy initiative aimed at training seniors on using technology. By improving digital access and literacy among older adults, the program aims to improve social connections and healthcare management.
Capacity Gaps in Connecticut The state's community centers will serve as training hubs, fostering intergenerational partnerships and support. However, many community centers lack the necessary infrastructure and staff to deliver digital literacy training. Applicants must demonstrate capacity to deliver the program, including established partnerships with community centers and a clear plan for program implementation.
Connecticut's Demographic Landscape The program prioritizes seniors in rural areas, where access to technology is limited and social isolation is a significant concern. With a high percentage of seniors living alone, Connecticut's rural communities require targeted support to address the unique challenges faced by older adults. By addressing these challenges, the program can effectively support the state's aging population.
Infrastructure Requirements in Connecticut To be considered, applicants must have access to adequate facilities and equipment to support digital literacy training. This includes computer labs, internet connectivity, and trained staff. The funding can be used to supplement existing resources or to establish new infrastructure in underserved areas.
