Kemp Applauded for Adding Funds to Help Elderly Georgians

Advocates for the elderly are praising Gov. Brian Kemp for proposing funding that could make a difference for 1,000 of the 7,000 older Georgians on waiting lists for home and community services. Kemp’s FY 2020 budget proposal, unveiled Thursday, includes an extra $1,898,000 for a state program that helps the elderly stay in their communities.
