The Resource Advocacy Program assists Macomb County seniors, 60 years and older. Resource Advocates will visit clients in the home, office, or a common meeting place to assess the client's needs and provide beneficial information.  Trained professionals will assess an individual's needs, link him/her to appropriate services and resources, and follow-up to assure the services are in place.
