Federal Grant Award Summary

Clinch Valley Community Action, Inc. received a $268,576 Project Grant award from the Corporation for National and Community Service's Office of Grants Management under the AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program (CFDA 94.016), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029. This award funds the organization's approved 2026-27 Senior Companion Program activities, which engage volunteers aged 55 and older—particularly those with limited incomes—to provide supportive services to vulnerable adults with special needs in Virginia.

Under this award, Senior Companions deliver individualized services including companionship, transportation assistance, respite care, and light household chores to help underserved adults maintain dignity and independence within their home communities while addressing social isolation. The grant supports both the volunteer experience and community service delivery, with a statutory match requirement of 10% and a budgetary match of 18.82%. As a multi-service community action agency with established experience administering federally funded programs, Clinch Valley Community Action will implement this initiative while maintaining compliance with AmeriCorps audit, record-keeping, and criminal history check requirements.
