In August 2024, Genesee County voters overwhelmingly renewed the Senior Services Millage for the third time in 20 years, reaffirming the community’s commitment to senior citizens. Beginning in January 2026, the renewal will extend for 10 years through 2035. In its first year post renewal, the millage is projected to generate more than $8.2 million in dedicated funding for programs and services that benefit residents aged 60 and older.

The Genesee County Board of Commissioners continues to support a wide range of millage-funded services for seniors, including senior centers, home-delivered meals, in-home care, transportation, lawn and snow maintenance, adult day care, respite care, elder abuse prevention, legal assistance, case management, guardianship services, and medical transportation and more. These services ensure that Genesee County’s seniors can remain active, independent, and connected to their communities for years to come.

The Board of Commissioners deeply values the contributions of seniors and affirms the vital role that all senior service providers play in healthy, safe and livable communities. The Board is fully committed to supporting, partnering with, and investing in organizations that provide quality service to seniors, ensuring that resources are available to meet their needs now and into the future.

We want Genesee County to maintain its reputation for being one of the most senior-friendly counties in Michigan. Working together alongside our network of providers, as well as our incredible staff at the Genesee County Department of Senior Services, we will continue to focus resources in areas of highest need. We are constantly seeking out new ways to enhance our services and well serve every senior.

Onward and Upward!

Delrico J. Loyd – Chairman

Genesee County Board of Commissioners
