Description
This opportunity will fund a single National Minority Technical Assistance Resource Center (TARC) to support the national aging network. The program aims to strengthen the capacity of organizations serving older adults from minority populations and their family caregivers by providing technical assistance, developing resources, and coordinating program efforts. The funded TARC will focus on:
- Developing and disseminating training and technical assistance in areas such as economic security, access to services, housing needs, self-advocacy, family and caregiver supports, and trauma-informed approaches.
- Educating the aging network on effective strategies and resources for engaging older adults who face barriers to outreach and access.
- Providing evidence-based approaches and community engagement techniques to ensure equitable attention and services for all older adults.
- Developing, testing, and sharing approaches that agencies can use to better support minority older adults, their families, and caregivers.
