A new Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is now available from ACL’s Administration on Aging: Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) - Dementia Capable States and Communities. The awardee(s) will receive a total of up to $1,000,000 per year for a three-year project.
There are two options for eligible applicants of this NOFO, which is designed to expand access to dementia-capable home and community-based services (HCBS) in states (Option A) and communities (Option B) across the nation.

Eligible applicants are state units on aging and existing dementia-capable HCBS providers with the ability to undertake the required activities outlined in the NOFO.

The Administration on Aging, part of ACL, is the principal agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services designated to carry out the provisions of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (OAA), as amended (42 U.S.C.A. § 3001 et seq.). The OAA promotes the well-being of older adults by providing services and programs that help them live independently in their homes and communities. The Act also empowers the federal government to distribute funds to the states for supportive services for individuals age 60 and older.
