About this program
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living distributes formula grants under CFDA 93.041 to fund elder abuse prevention, detection, assessment, and treatment activities, with the most recent awards issued on October 1, 2025. The program supports law enforcement training, healthcare provider training, public awareness campaigns, and state and local elder abuse prevention coalitions and multidisciplinary teams. States and U.S. territories with designated State Agencies on Aging are the eligible applicants; grants are distributed through a statutory formula after review and approval of state plans.
The program remains highly active. The portfolio encompasses 1,027 awards distributed since 2000, with a consistent cadence of approximately 55 awards per year over the past five years. The most recent award cycle (October 1, 2025) reflects the program's regular annual disbursement pattern. Awards are structured for 2-, 3-, or 4-year performance periods.
The assistance type mix is predominantly Formula Grants, comprising 1,024 of 1,027 awards (99.7%), with only one Cooperative Agreement and two Project Grants across the full portfolio. Combined federal dollars obligated total $98.7 million, with negligible non-federal cost-share. The Administration for Community Living accounts for all identified funding activity across the program.
Recent awards reflect the formula-based, state-directed character of the program. Representative October 2025 awards include California ($627,093), Florida ($458,267), New York ($423,408), Pennsylvania ($323,406), and Texas ($365,122). Smaller allocations to less populous states and territories—such as Alaska ($3,938), Guam ($15,748), and Montana ($31,496)—illustrate the formula's accommodation of population variation. Award values range from roughly $3,900 to $627,000 depending on state size and eligible population.
No recent competitive solicitations have been posted; eligibility is statutory for state agencies. Applicants pursuing funding should confirm their state's approved State Plan submission status and intrastate funding formula compliance, as grants can be terminated if these requirements are not met. Federal audit requirements apply to recipients expending $750,000 or more in federal awards annually.
