The Public Hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, April 19th at 1:30 p.m. at the Leavenworth County Council on Aging, 711 Marshall Street, Suite 100, Leavenworth, KS. ***Anyone requiring accommodation (i.e. qualified interpreter, large print reader and hearing assistance) in order to attend this meeting is requested to notify the Council on Aging at 913-684-0777 no later than 48 hours prior to the hearing.

The mission of the Human Services and Assistance team is to provide support to seniors, age 60 and older and residing in Leavenworth County, to ensure their safety and promote their emotional well-being.
