The ElderCare Development Partnership (EDP) is a multi-year strategy adopted by Minnesota in 1990 to prepare the state’s long term care system to deal with the needs of a growing older population.
Through the EDP strategies, the CMCOA Community Development team works with service providers, local governments, and other partners. Together they explore and develop innovative programs, pilot system changes, or utilize technology and informal resources to meet the growing and changing needs of the long term care system.
Our Community Development team provides technical assistance for agencies and community collaborative, who are seeking funding to support their services and strategies including Minnesota Department of Human Services and Minnesota Board on Aging grant funds.
