Federal Formula Grant Award Summary

The Ketchikan Indian Community received a $136,000 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (AOA) under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title VI, Part A, Grants to Indian Tribes program (CFDA 93.047) effective April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2029. This three-year award funds the delivery of supportive services, nutrition services, and caregiver support services to American Indian and Alaska Native elders aged 60 and older within the Ketchikan, Alaska service area.

Under this program, the Ketchikan Indian Community will provide services comparable to those offered under Title III of the Older Americans Act to tribal members and the broader Native community. The award supports essential aging services tailored to the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimpsean populations served by the tribal government, expanding KIC's existing portfolio of federally funded health, social, and community services. As a formula grant recipient, funding allocation is determined by established distribution formulas based on the eligible elder population served, and the awardee must maintain all program and financial records for three years following submission of final expenditure reports.
