The Administration for Community Living (also known as the Administration on Aging) at the Department of Health and Human Services awarded the Department For Aging And Rehabilitative Services, Virginia's State Agency on Aging, $43.307 million in formula grant funding on October 1, 2025, under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title III, Part B program (CFDA 93.044) for supportive services and senior centers.

The funding supports community-based supportive services for older individuals, including transportation, in-home services, and multipurpose senior center operations designed to enable seniors to remain independent in their homes and communities. DARS administers this funding through sub-awards to local Area Agencies on Aging, community rehabilitation providers, and nonprofit organizations across Virginia's counties and municipalities, concentrating resources on comprehensive and coordinated service systems via statewide and area planning.

The award obligates $43.307 million with a period of performance from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. Place of performance is Virginia. The program operates on a noncompetitive, statutory formula basis; Virginia is entitled to these grants by law, with the State Agency on Aging approving and allocating funds to sub-state organizations per an intrastate funding formula. State plans are submitted for two- to four-year periods with annual revisions as necessary.
