ACL Awards New
Grants to Support Minority Aging Organizations
ACL is pleased to announce the awarding of six-cooperative
agreements totaling $1,150,160.00 to provide targeted technical assistance
to the aging services network to better meet the needs of older adults from
diverse communities. The program is titled Strengthening Aging Services for
Minority Populations Through Technical Assistance, Resource Development,
and Program Coordination. It consists of two separate but complementary
activities:
- The Minority Organization
TARC Program will provide targeted technical assistance and training
to the aging services network and other relevant stakeholders and
consumers. Program activities will focus on the following minority
older adult populations: African American; Hispanic; Asian-Pacific
Islander; Native Americans; and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and
transgender (LGBT). The five organizations receiving grants are as
follows:
- Services
and Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE)
- National
Caucus and Center on Black Aging (NCBA)
- National
Indian Council on Aging (NICOA)
- MHP
Salud
- National
Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA)
- In its ongoing effort to
better support the needs of diverse older adults and their family
caregivers, ACL is also funding the The Center for Healthy Aging at The New York
Academy of Medicine to establish a new Coordinating
Center for Minority Organizations TARC Program. This new effort will
promote closer collaboration, coordination, and cross-program efforts
across numerous ACL-funded resource centers focused on older adults,
family caregivers, and where applicable, persons with disabilities;
and with other stakeholders to promote greater cross-sectional work on
behalf of diverse older adults and their family caregivers.
