Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Jicarilla Apache Nation received a $157,530 formula grant award effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029, under the Administration on Aging's Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047). This award supports the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver services to American Indian elders aged 60 and older within the Nation's service area in north-central New Mexico. The funding enables the Jicarilla Apache Nation to provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act to tribal members and surrounding communities.

As a federally recognized tribal organization with demonstrated capacity to deliver comprehensive elder services, the Jicarilla Apache Nation utilizes this three-year formula grant to sustain ongoing senior programming that addresses nutritional support and social services for the approximately 3,356 residents served by the Nation. The award reflects the Administration on Aging's commitment to ensuring that Native American elders receive culturally appropriate and accessible aging services comparable to those available to other populations under federal Older Americans Act programs.
