Description
This opportunity provides cooperative agreements to support the development and expansion of dementia-capable home and community-based service (HCBS) systems in states and communities. The program aims to help individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (ADRD), along with their caregivers, remain independent and safe in their communities through person-centered services and supports.
There are two application tracks:
- Option A (Grants to States): For designated state agencies to create, expand, and sustain statewide dementia-capable HCBS systems, with a focus on single entry/no wrong door access and comprehensive, innovative services.
- Option B (Grants to Communities): For eligible community-based organizations to address specific service gaps, including support for individuals living alone with ADRD, services for those aging with intellectual/developmental disabilities and ADRD, and behavioral symptom management training for family caregivers.
Applicants may only apply for one option per cycle and may not hold more than one ADPI grant at a time. Priority consideration is given to states and organizations that have not received similar funding since before 2014.
