1 billion in funding and new grant opportunities to provide critical services to older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers. The Older Americans Act formula grant funding will be issued to all 50 states and six territories, as well as 293 tribes and tribal organization nationwide, and serves as a reflection of the Department’s commitment to sustaining and strengthening critical community-based programs.
“We stand with our elders and individuals with disabilities — we don’t abandon them,” **said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.** “This funding directly invests in dignity, protects independence, and affirms every American’s right to age with respect and community. Restoring humanity to our health system is not optional — it’s the foundation of how we Make America Healthy Again.
” Over the next two weeks, ACL will release more than $1. 1 billion to complete the full release of FY 2025 funding to formula grant recipients, ensuring services continue without interruption.
These grants support a wide array of low-cost services that reach one in six older adults annually, and address significant needs such as nutrition, assistance with daily living activities, chronic disease management, and the prevention of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. The funding also strengthens resources for family caregivers, recognizing their vital role in supporting aging loved ones.
Other grants fund Assistive Technology, Independent Living, Protection and Advocacy, and State Councils on Developmental Disabilities programs, playing a critical role in supporting people with disabilities of all ages to live and participate in their communities. These programs are a cornerstone of our national commitment to individuals with disabilities and older adults.
“We are eager to continue to work with our state, territory, tribal, and local partners to ensure our programs effectively serve eligible older adults, people with disabilities, and those who support them,”**said Mary Lazare, Acting ACL Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging**. “We also look forward to receiving innovative grant applications that will rapidly improve the impact of the nation’s aging and disability programs.
” Later this week, ACL will also make an additional $2 million available for states so that they may develop cross-sector caregiver support demonstrations through the Advancing State Implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers funding opportunity.
This grant program is a direct result of recommendations made by the joint advisory councils established in 2019 by President Trump following the passage of the RAISE Family Caregivers Act and the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act.
