The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) is seeking applicants for the "Enhancing State No Wrong Door Systems for Efficient Access to Long-Term Services and Supports" grant opportunity (HHS-2025-ACL-CIP-NWGV-0029). The grant aims to provide infrastructure funding to approximately 10 states over a two-year period to develop or enhance their state No Wrong Door (NWD) System operations through multi-agency governance structures. Key requirements include establishing sustainability strategies, reporting semi-annual data, and focusing on areas like workforce training, IT modernization, and streamlined referral processes. Applications will be evaluated on criteria such as the problem statement, approach, outcomes/evaluation, organizational capacity, budget, work plan, and letters of commitment.

This is a $4 million funding opportunity, with individual awards ranging from $350,000 to $450,000 for a two-year project period. Eligible applicants include domestic public/private non-profits, state/local governments, tribal organizations, and higher education institutions. No cost-sharing or matching funds are required. The grant falls under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging) and the project start date is September 1, 2025.

Update #2 · Latest ·

These modifications have been made to the NOFO: In Section III.1, the first paragraph was removed. This paragraph described an Executive Order from the previous administration. In Section V, language in the Project Staff criterion was removed. Specifically, the language in the second factor -- about sexual orientation and gender identity - was removed. - The purpose of this funding is to provide infrastructure grants to support approximately 10 states for two years to develop or enhance their state No Wront Door (NWD) System operations through a multi-agency governing body that leads the design, implementation, and ongoing administration of related policy, stakeholder inclusion, sustainability, continuous quality improvement, technology infrastructure, and resource allocation. This includes exploring opportunities to collaborate with state leaders across Medicaid, nutrition, housing, transportation, and employment to proactively and strategically align state resources to address the need for more streamlined, coordinated systems that make it easier for people to learn about and access long-term services and supports (LTSS). NWD governance and administration involves collaborative efforts among multiple state agencies (e.g., state Medicaid; State Unit on Aging; state agencies that serve or represent interest of individuals with physical, intellectual and developmental disabilities; and state authorities administering mental and behavioral health services).
