California Department of Aging Names Family Service Agency as Area Agency on Aging for San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties
SANTA BARBARA — The California Department of Aging (CDA) has designated Family Service Agency (FSA) as the regional Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for Planning and Service Area 17, which encompasses San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties, effective immediately.
FSA will assume full programmatic, fiscal and administrative coordination for critical older adult and caregiver services under Title III of the Older Americans Act, working closely with state officials, local community partners and existing service providers to ensure service stability. The designation follows a CDA request for proposals (SLO-2627-17); the agreement term runs from October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2029.
FSA program manager Megan Young said the Area Agency on Aging serves as a starting point for finding the right support for an older adult, coordinating services that support aging and help family caregivers manage the challenges of caregiving. Service information is available at aging.fsa-cares.org. (GSM, from KPRL and Amigos805 reports, Oct. 2, and CDA procurement documents)
