Project Grant 26SCGTX003

Centro De Salud Familiar La Fe Inc. received a $308,648 Project Grant award effective July 1, 2026, from the Corporation for National and Service's Office of Grants Management under the AmeriCorps Seniors Senior Companion Program (CFDA 94.016). The award funds the organization's approved 2026–27 Senior Companion Program activities through June 30, 2029. The program engages volunteers aged 55 and older—particularly those with limited incomes—to provide supportive services to vulnerable adults with special needs, including companionship, transportation assistance, respite care, and light household chores. These services are designed to address social isolation and help beneficiaries maintain dignity and independence in their homes and communities.

The award is structured with a statutory match requirement of 10 percent and a budgetary match of 35.09 percent. Centro De Salud Familiar La Fe Inc., a nonprofit health and human services organization operating Federally Qualified Health Centers in El Paso, Texas, is well-positioned to administer this program given its extensive experience delivering comprehensive medical, dental, pharmacy, and social support services to disadvantaged communities. The three-year funding period supports the organization's continued mobilization of economically disadvantaged senior volunteers while simultaneously delivering essential community services to underserved populations throughout the performance period.
