Money Management Program (MMP) - Financial affairs are an obstacle to living independently; many older adults and individuals with disabilities are making impossible choices between paying rent, eating or paying a bill. Will you help someone? The MMP helps vulnerable, low income older adults and individuals with disabilities who are at risk of losing their independence due to their inability to pay rent, food and utility bills. The MMP is a FREE service. MMP volunteers help these individuals by establishing a budget for them, organizing their mail, helping them write checks to pay their bills and balancing their checkbook. MMP is offered in the 23 communities OCES serves.

Mission Statement
The mission of OCES is to support the independence and dignity of elders and individuals with disabilities by providing essential information and services that promote healthy and safe living.
Description
Independence. It is a concept our nation was built upon, and one most of us take for granted. As we age, it is also something that can quickly become elusive. The reasons for this vary from person to person and include such reasons as health challenges, an inability to drive or limited financial security. The result is that many within the aging and disabilities populations are at risk daily of losing their ability to live independently. OCES is committed to its mission by making a difference in the lives of the individuals we serve and enabling them to live safely in their homes as long as they wish.
OCES is privileged to act as the entry point for older adults, families, caregivers, individuals with disabilities and healthcare professionals who wish to access programs, services and community resources. The value of the services provided through OCES programs to the individuals living within our service area who are most in need, cannot be underestimated.
