Federal Grant Award Summary

The New Hampshire Department of Health & Human Services received a formula grant award of $144,415.00 from the Administration on Aging under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VII, Chapter 2, Long Term Care Ombudsman Services for Older Individuals program (CFDA 93.042). The award, effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, funds the state's Long-Term Care Ombudsman program to investigate and resolve complaints made by or on behalf of residents living in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, board and care facilities, and other residential care communities.

The ombudsman services delivered through this funding include identifying and investigating resident complaints, providing information to older adults about long-term services and supports, ensuring regular and timely access to ombudsman advocacy services, and representing resident interests before governmental agencies to secure administrative and legal remedies. Additionally, the program supports analysis and recommendations for changes to laws and regulations affecting long-term care quality and consumer protections. As a statutory formula grant distributed on a non-competitive basis to all states with designated State Agencies on Aging, this award reflects New Hampshire's allocation based on federal funding formulas established under the Older Americans Act.
