Federal Grant Award Summary

The Administration on Aging (AOA) awarded $223,046 to the New Mexico Aging and Long Term Service Department (ALTSD) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part D, Disease Prevention and Health Promotion Services program (CFDA 93.043) on October 1, 2025. This two-year formula grant, which extends through September 30, 2027, funds the development and strengthening of preventive health service and health promotion systems for older adults throughout New Mexico. The funding supports evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion initiatives delivered through the state agency to Area Agencies on Aging and designated service providers.

Under this award, ALTSD will implement evidence-based programs addressing prevalent health concerns among seniors aged 55 and older with limited incomes, including physical fitness programs, medication management education, chronic disease self-management education, and psychosocial behavioral health interventions. The grant specifically supports condition-specific initiatives targeting health domains such as diabetes, falls prevention, arthritis, depression, chronic pain, brain health, and HIV. As a statutory formula grant distributed on a non-competitive basis, the award requires annual plan revisions throughout the performance period and reflects AOA's commitment to enhancing the quality of life and health outcomes for New Mexico's vulnerable older adult population.
