| Statewide Interest: |
| Expansion of the Elderly High Risk Nutritional program to include meals for homebound elders currently receiving in-home services who are 60 year of age or older and are assigned as high risk and/or in danger of malnutrition. This meets the statewide interest in reducing the number of elderly who must move out of their home for services, which is more expensive than in-home services. |
