Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL AOA CCDG 0032
The Volunteer Community Care Corps: Expanding and Refining Models for Volunteer Programs to Support Older Adults, People with Disabilities, and their Family Caregivers is a discretionary federal grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL). It builds on a program ACL launched in 2019 to test community-based volunteer models that provide non-medical assistance to older adults, people with disabilities, and the family caregivers who often shoulder most day-to-day support. The underlying premise is straightforward: practical, reliable help with everyday needs can make it more realistic for older adults and people with disabilities to remain living safely and independently in their homes and communities, while also easing the physical, emotional, and financial strain that caregiving can place on families.
This funding opportunity will support one national organization through a cooperative agreement, meaning ACL expects to be actively involved in guiding and supporting the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The selected national organization is expected to help advance person-centered volunteer programming at the local level, with volunteers delivering supports that are non-clinical in nature. While the notice does not list specific service menus, the emphasis on non-medical care typically points to assistance that helps people function day to day and stay connected, such as errands, transportation, friendly visiting, respite-like supports for caregivers, and other practical tasks that can reduce isolation and prevent avoidable crises.
The project has three main objectives. First, it is meant to test person-centered approaches for designing and delivering local volunteer programs that support older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their family caregivers in maintaining independence. Second, it must evaluate the locally developed models being tested, looking at benefits not only for the people receiving help (older adults and people with disabilities), but also for family caregivers and for the volunteers themselves. Third, it must move beyond testing and evaluation to create and carry out a dissemination plan that spreads proven models so they can be replicated in other communities, turning local pilots into approaches that can be adopted more widely.
Eligibility is broad but limited to domestic public or private nonprofit entities. Eligible applicants include state and local governments, Indian tribal governments and organizations (including American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native American entities), faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this announcement, but faith-based and community organizations that meet the general eligibility rules are welcome to compete.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2024-ACL-AOA-CCDG-0032 and assistance listing (CFDA) number 93.048. The application deadline listed is June 8, 2024. ACL expects to make one award, with an award ceiling of $5,430,000. The opportunity sits within the broad funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services, reflecting its focus on community supports that protect independence and caregiver stability rather than medical treatment.Apply for HHS 2024 ACL AOA CCDG 0032
