Florida Department of Elder Affairs
Florida's main starting point for aging programs, caregiver support, meals, housing resources, legal services, elder protection, and local Aging and Disability Resource Centers.
Launching first in Brevard County
Sunshine Support Network is building a clearer way for Florida families, caregivers, older adults, and Veterans to find trustworthy programs, savings, and local help.
Start with what you need
The full database is still being built. These categories create the structure for verified Florida and local resources.
Respite, in-home help, caregiver education, planning, and support.
Aging services, benefits, meals, home support, and local agencies.
Benefits, caregiver help, transportation, discounts, and survivor resources.
Medicare guidance, bill assistance, insurance help, and tax starting points.
Medical rides, paratransit, volunteer drivers, and mobility support.
Meals, utilities, housing support, home repairs, and accessibility.
Pet food, veterinary help, errands, companionship, and practical support.
Survivor tasks, funeral assistance, grief support, and life transitions.
A useful first version
These official and nonprofit resources can help while the local database grows.
Florida's main starting point for aging programs, caregiver support, meals, housing resources, legal services, elder protection, and local Aging and Disability Resource Centers.
Free, unbiased, and confidential Medicare counseling for Florida Medicare beneficiaries, families, and caregivers.
A 24/7 local helpline connecting Brevard residents with food, housing, utilities, healthcare, caregiver, veteran, crisis, and other community resources.
How the network will work
This site will never replace the original agency or a qualified professional. It is designed to make the path to them much easier.
Find a smaller set of relevant programs instead of sorting through an overwhelming directory.
Review who it serves, potential costs, contact information, and when the listing was last checked.
Confirm current eligibility, availability, waitlists, and application requirements directly with the provider.
