FY2026 (OASS) older americans act title III - supportive services - older americans act title III - supportive services

The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living awarded the Oregon Department of Human Services $12.378 million on October 1, 2025, under the Older Americans Act Title III, Part B program (CFDA 93.044) to develop and implement community-based systems of supportive services for older individuals, including transportation, in-home services, multipurpose senior centers, and other support enabling seniors to remain independent in their homes and communities.

The award covers the period October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, with performance in Oregon. Oregon DHS acts as the state administering agency, distributing funds through a statutory formula to Area Agencies on Aging and designated sub-state organizations. The program is noncompetitive; states are entitled to these grants by statute and receive allocations based on approval of their State Plan and intrastate funding formulas.

Oregon DHS sub-awarded funding to the County of Clackamas (award date December 10, 2025) for Older Americans Act services delivery. A second sub-award (award date December 1, 2025) represents a continuation from the prior funding cycle under an interagency agreement. Oregon DHS historically sub-awards approximately 95 percent of its federal formula grants to counties, Area Agencies on Aging, nonprofit organizations, and community-based service providers to ensure local-level service delivery across aging, child welfare, nutrition assistance, vocational rehabilitation, and refugee resettlement programs.
