About this opportunity
The Administration for Community Living is soliciting cooperative agreement applications to develop and expand dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems at state and community levels, with applications due July 22, 2026. Applicants must provide a 25% non-federal cost share and dedicate at least 50% of total grant funds to direct services; no entity may hold more than one ADPI grant or apply for both Option A and Option B simultaneously.
Eligible applicants include state governments, county and city governments, special district governments, federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations not federally recognized, public and private higher education institutions, and 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Option A targets governmental entities designated as the state agency for dementia capability; all states and territories without active ACL ADPI State grants are eligible, with priority consideration given to states that have not benefited from ADSSP grants since before 2014. Option B targets domestic public or private nonprofit community-based organizations operating within existing dementia-capable HCBS systems.
Total expected program funding is $15 million supporting 17 awards, ranging from $850,000 to $1 million per applicant per budget period. The single 36-month cooperative agreement runs September 30, 2026 through September 29, 2029, with awards expected September 30, 2026.
Option A requires two mandatory objectives: creating, expanding, and sustaining a dementia-capable state HCBS system including Single Entry Point/No Wrong Door access; and ensuring access to comprehensive, sustainable, quality state HCBS with innovative dementia-specific interventions. Option B requires addressing three service gap areas: supportive services for people living alone with dementia; improved programs for people aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities with dementia; and behavioral symptom management training for family caregivers. All applicants must implement evidence-based or evidence-informed dementia-specific interventions, conduct robust third-party evaluations, complete Dementia Capability Assessments, and submit program and evaluation reports. A phased implementation approach with a planning phase of not less than six months is required, with planning phase access limited to 15% of total funding.
The Assistance Listing is 93.470.
Synopsis
Cooperative agreements under the ADPI funding Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), are intended to support and promote the development and expansion of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in States and Communities. There are two application options contained in this single NOFO: Grants to States (Option A) and Grants to Communities (Option B). No entity is eligible to apply for both State and Community options and no entity is eligible to hold more than one ADPI grant at a time. The dementia-capable systems resulting from program activities under either option are expected to provide quality, person-centered services and supports that help individuals living with dementia and their caregiver remain independent and safe in their communities.OPTION A: Grants to StatesApplicants for Option A (36 month cooperative agreements) are the governmental entities within states and territories designated as the state agency for dementia-capability and that have working relationships with their state agencies that enable creating and sustaining a dementia- capable HCBS System. Option A has two required objectives, the first of which is the creation, expansion and sustainability of a dementia-capable state HCBS system that includes Single Entry Point/No Wrong Door (SEP/NWD) access for people with dementia and their family caregivers. The second objective is to ensure access to a comprehensive, sustainable set of quality state HCBS that are dementia-capable and provide innovative services to the population with dementia and their caregivers.States and territories eligible for Option A are those that do not have active ACL ADPI State dementia-capability grants. All states without active grants are eligible to apply, however those states that have not benefited from ADSSP grants since before 2014 will be given priority consideration in the post-review decision-making process.OPTION B: Grants to CommunitiesCooperative agreements under Option B (36 month cooperative agreements) are available to private and/or public community-based organizations (CBO) that are able to: 1) demonstrate their operation within an existing dementia-capable HCBS system dedicated to the population that they serve; and 2) articulate opportunities and additional services in the targeted gap areas that would enhance and strengthen the existing system.Option B cooperative agreements are designed to aid community-based HCBS providers in addressing three specific service gaps in existing dementia-capable HCBS systems for persons living with or those at high risk of developing Alzheimer"s disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their caregivers.Option B applicants must address each of the following three gap areas:Provision of effective supportive services to persons living alone with ADRD in the community;Improvement of the quality and effectiveness of programs and services dedicated to individuals aging with intellectual and developmental disabilities with ADRD or those at high risk of developing ADRD; and Delivery of behavioral symptom management training and expert consultations for family caregivers.Community-based organizations are only eligible to hold one ADPI grant at a time. All community-based organizations without active ADPI grants are eligible to apply, however those that have not benefited from ADI-SSS and ADPI grant programs since before 2014 will be given priority consideration in the post-review decision-making process.
