Federal Grant Award Summary

The Alabama Department of Senior Services received a $130,083 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (AOA), effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043). This non-competitive, statutorily-allocated award supports the development and strengthening of evidence-based preventive health and health promotion services for older adults throughout Alabama.

The funded initiative delivers comprehensive disease prevention and health promotion programming addressing critical health domains including physical fitness, medication management, chronic disease self-management education, psychosocial behavioral health intervention, and condition-specific services targeting HIV, arthritis, brain health, diabetes, falls prevention, depression, and chronic pain. The Alabama Department of Senior Services, serving as the State Agency on Aging, distributes these funds to designated substate-level organizations, including Area Agencies on Aging, regional councils of government, and non-profit service providers, which deliver direct preventive health services to seniors across the state. This award represents Alabama's statutory allocation under the formula grant program administered by the Administration for Community Living.
