Highlights
These grants fund a wide array of services including congregate and home-delivered meals; transportation; personal and respite care; dementia care; caregiver support services; and programs to protect elder rights (see Figure 1)
In 2012, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) emerged as a new operating division within the U.S Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), bringing together the Administration on Aging (AoA); the Administration on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AIDD),; and the Office on Disability
Consistent with that mission is a longstanding commitment to the translation of evidence-based prevention programs from the research setting into community practice
Summary
These grants fund a wide array of services including congregate and home-delivered meals; transportation; personal and respite care; dementia care; caregiver support services; and programs to protect elder rights (see Figure 1). Since 2003, AoA has provided competitive grants to support collaborations between the aging and public health networks and their partners at the state and local community level.
