Following the sale of Lurie Terrace to the City of Ann Arbor, the Senior Citizens Housing of Ann Arbor (SCHAA) dissolved as an independent nonprofit. Its volunteer leadership remains committed to helping older adults through the endowment they established at AAACF: the SCHAA Fund for Seniors. 

This fund awards grants to support organizations and programs that serve older adults and their caregivers.  For 2026, this committee will be prioritizing applications that focus on technology & transportation programs within Washtenaw County. 

The AAACF will host a virtual information session on Friday, September 25, 2026 at 10am,  at SCHAA Virtual Information Session. AAACF staff will walk attendees through the application process and provide insights into the kind of funding opportunities the committee is looking to support. This information session is not mandatory, but potential applicants are encouraged to attend.  

The SCHAA Fund will distribute ~$108,800 in competitive grants to local nonprofits delivering programs and services in Washtenaw County.
