About this opportunity
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) is seeking applicants for a cooperative agreement to advance and expand the Community Care Corps model of local volunteer programming. The grant aims to increase the number of community-based volunteer programs that provide non-medical care and support to older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers. Key objectives include testing person-centered model approaches, evaluating locally developed test models, and developing a plan to broadly disseminate proven local models. Applicants must demonstrate national scope, expertise in volunteer management, and experience working with the target populations. The application deadline is June 8, 2024.
ACL is offering one cooperative agreement award of up to $5,430,000 per year for a 5-year project period. A 25% non-federal cost share is required. The grant program is authorized under the Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV, and Title II, Discretionary Projects (CFDA 93.048).
Synopsis
Offering services and supports to older adults or persons with disabilities can enable them to maintain their independence and status in the community. In addition, we recognize that family caregivers provide most of the support that makes it possible for older people and people with disabilities to live in the community. Providing care can take a physical, financial, and emotional toll on family caregivers. Offering assistance to family caregivers can make it easier for them to continue providing care and allows older adults and persons with disabilities the opportunity to remain in the community.In 2019, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) established a new grant program that is testing models of programming designed to place volunteers in communities to assist caregivers, older adults, and persons with disabilities in maintaining independence by providing non-medical care. ACL proposes to continue the Volunteer Care Corps by funding a new one cooperative agreement to a national organization to advance the following broad objectives: • Test person-centered model approaches of delivering local volunteer programming to assist older adults, persons with disabilities and their family caregivers in maintaining their independence. • Evaluate locally developed test models to determine the benefit to volunteers, family caregivers, older adults, and persons with disabilities.• Develop and implement a plan to broadly disseminate proven local models for replication in other communities.
