Description
This funding opportunity from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) aims to enhance and strengthen elder rights and elder justice for older adults with economic and social need. The program supports cooperative agreements that identify and implement enhancements and innovations to improve the quality, effectiveness, accessibility, and availability of legal assistance for older adults, particularly in underserved communities. Projects must align with ACL’s principles, focusing on addressing inequities and increasing access to legal services, and should result in quantifiable and sustainable improvements in the delivery of legal assistance—from advice to full representation.
