The North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services received a formula grant award of $269,191 from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration on Aging (also known as Administration for Community Living) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043). The award, dated October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027, supports the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults throughout North Carolina.

The grant funds evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services delivered through the State Agency on Aging and its designated Area Agencies on Aging. Covered service areas include physical fitness programs, medication management, chronic disease self-management education, psychosocial behavioral health interventions, and condition-specific initiatives addressing HIV, arthritis, brain health, diabetes, falls prevention, depression, and chronic pain. As a statutory formula grant, North Carolina's allocation reflects population-based distribution formulas established by the Older Americans Act, with funds flowing to substate-level organizations designated by the State Agency on Aging for direct service delivery to eligible older populations across the state.
