Description
This funding opportunity from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) aims to advance behavioral health-focused innovations within senior nutrition program congregate meal settings. The primary goals are to identify barriers and facilitators to serving older adults with behavioral health conditions, develop and implement person-centered and trauma-informed best practices, and create resources that can be disseminated across the aging services network. The project targets older adults (60+) with behavioral health conditions, including those experiencing homelessness, and seeks to improve access, engagement, and outcomes through statewide initiatives.
