Southeast Michigan Senior Regional Collaborative

What Southeast Michigan Senior Regional Collaborative does

Southeast Michigan Senior Regional Collaborative (SEMISRC) is a Detroit-based nonprofit membership collaborative founded in 2008 to coordinate services, advocacy, and education for older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers across Macomb, Wayne, and Oakland counties. The organization operates as a 50+ member coalition spanning nonprofits (Area Agency on Aging 1-B, Alzheimer's Association, Bridging Communities), government entities (Detroit Area Agency on Aging, Wayne County Dept of Senior Services), healthcare providers (PACE Southeast Michigan, Henry Ford Health C.A.R.E., Trinity Health Senior Communities), and educational institutions (University of Michigan CHRT and OLLI).

SEMISRC's core offerings include the Quality Aging Matrix assessment tool for measuring quality of life across housing, nutrition, and health domains; court-ordered Eldercaring Coordination alternative dispute resolution; QPR Suicide Prevention Training; the Caregiver Conversations Podcast; a Community Care Hub for clinical-community referrals; and a Veteran Connector program delivered with the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency. Programs are distributed primarily through the member organization network, court referrals, training workshops, and annual events such as the SRC Conference, Aging Matters Expo, and Money Smart Expo.

The organization is funded through a combination of tiered membership dues ($50-$1,000 per year depending on member type and revenue) and grants from foundations and corporate funders including the Michigan Health Endowment Fund, Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation, The Care Fund, United Healthcare, and Grantmakers In Aging. Operations are run by a small staff of 1-10 employees under the leadership of Executive Director Kristie King, MSW, and a multi-sector board of directors.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• AARP: National advocacy organization for Americans aged 50+, with state offices in Michigan. Both SEMISRC and AARP focus on caregiver support, aging-in-place, and policy advocacy for older adults—AARP operates at massive scale while SEMISRC is regionally concentrated.
• National Council on Aging: National nonprofit advocacy and service organization for older adults. SEMISRC operates at a regional scale on similar advocacy, education, and caregiver-support themes; NCOA serves the national analogue of SEMISRC's role in its region.

Regional players

• Eldercare Locator: Nationwide public-directory service connecting older adults and caregivers to local aging-services resources. SEMISRC's Community Care Hub and resource navigation services share the caregiver resource-matching function, though Eldercare Locator operates nationally.

Direct peers

• Family Caregiver Alliance: National caregiver-support organization providing services, research, and advocacy. SEMISRC's caregiver-focused programs (CTCC Coalition, Caregiver Conversations Podcast, Caregiver Resources) align directly with FCA's mission at a regional execution level.
• Detroit Area Agency on Aging: Detroit's designated Area Agency on Aging providing services and advocacy for older adults in the city. SEMISRC member and Eldercaring Coordination Advisory Committee partner; both operate as aging-services intermediaries in the same metro Detroit geography.
• Michigan Association of Area Agencies on Aging: Michigan statewide association representing the state's 16 Area Agencies on Aging. SEMISRC's collaborative advocacy model for aging services in Southeast Michigan parallels MAAAA's statewide coordination role for Area Agencies on Aging.
• National Alliance for Caregiving: National nonprofit dedicated to advancing family caregiving research, policy, and innovation. SEMISRC participates in NAC's Caregiver Nation Network and shares the caregiver-advocacy mission at a regional implementation level.
• Area Agency on Aging 1-B: Regional Area Agency on Aging serving Southeast Michigan (Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, and Washtenaw counties). Both SEMISRC and AAA 1-B serve the same older adult population in overlapping counties and collaborate on SEMISRC's Eldercaring Coordination Advisory Committee.
• The Senior Alliance: Area Agency on Aging 1-B's southeastern Michigan division serving Wayne County. SEMISRC member and Eldercaring Coordination Advisory Committee partner; comparable regional aging-services intermediary in the same market.

Others

• Grantmakers In Aging: National membership association of philanthropies focused on aging. SEMISRC is a recipient of Grantmakers In Aging funding support and partner; comparable as a membership/collaborative model serving the aging-services ecosystem, though from the funder side rather than service-provider side.
