Who We Are
Mature Resources Area Agency on Aging (MRAAA) has been serving older adults and adults with disabilities in Clearfield County since 1977 as the region’s Area Agency on Aging (AAA). As one of the county's nonprofits, MRAAA partners with roughly 100 providers to deliver programs that help older Clearfield County adults.
We are anchored by the Older Americans Act (OAA)
​
When the Older Americans Act was signed into law in 1965, it was largely considered the most significant piece of aging legislation to date. The OAA is reauthorized by Congress every few years. The 1973 reauthorization of the OAA created Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to oversee and deliver vital home and community-based programs. Today, there are over 600 AAAs throughout the US providing OAA programs to older adults in their communities. Federal AAA oversight and allocation of OAA-authorized funds is conducted through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Within the commonwealth, the Pennsylvania Department of Aging (www.aging.pa.gov) allocates ACL funding and governs the 52 AAAs that serve Pennsylvanians locally.
