Cash & Counseling Programs Named 2007 Choices for Independence Program Champions

New Jersey and Minnesota Programs Honored by AoA

The U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) has named two Cash & Counseling programs as 2007 Choices for Independence Program Champions. The 2007 Program Champions highlight programs and initiatives in States, tribes and communities that demonstrate the principles of the AoA strategy to rebalance and modernize health and long term care for older persons and those with disabilities. A new 2007 Program Champion is featured each business day during Older Americans Month. Minnesota's Consumer Directed Community Supports and New Jersey's Personal Preference programs were honored.
