The Nutrition Services Incentive Program (NSIP) provides performance-based grants to states, territories, and tribal organizations to purchase food for Older Americans Act nutrition programs, including congregate meal sites at senior centers and home-delivered meals for homebound older adults. Funds are allocated based on the number of meals served, rewarding programs that serve more seniors with more resources. NSIP supports approximately 1 million older Americans annually through a network of nutrition service providers.
