Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2024 ACL AOA CGPS 0034
The grant opportunity titled "Advancing Aging Network Capacity to Support Family, Kinship and Tribal Family Caregivers: Financial and Workplace Security" (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2024-ACL-AOA-CGPS-0034) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL). It uses the demonstration authority in Section 373(i) of the Older Americans Act of 1965 (as amended) and is explicitly grounded in the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. In practical terms, ACL is funding a national-scale capacity-building and technical assistance effort that helps the aging and tribal aging networks better recognize, reach, and support family caregivers, with this particular award focused entirely on the Strategy's Goal 4: strengthening the financial and workplace security of family caregivers.
This award is designed to complement and coordinate with four other related grantees funded under an earlier caregiver capacity initiative, creating a cross-collaborative portfolio rather than a stand-alone project. The intent is to strengthen how the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP, OAA Title III-E) and the Native American Caregiver Support Program (NACSP, OAA Title VI-C) operate on the ground, especially in areas where caregivers face economic strain, lost wages, job disruption, and difficulties balancing employment with caregiving responsibilities. Because it is a cooperative agreement, the federal role is expected to be more active than in a typical grant, meaning the recipient should anticipate ongoing collaboration with ACL around project direction, deliverables, and dissemination.
The primary audience for the technical assistance and related products is the set of organizations that implement Older Americans Act-funded services. That includes State Units on Aging (SUAs), Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), local aging service providers, and family caregiver support providers. It also includes kinship, grandparent, and grandfamily service providers, along with tribes and tribal entities that are part of the tribal services network. ACL also signals that applicants should be deliberate about improving reach and effectiveness for two groups that are specifically included in NFCSP eligibility and often experience unique challenges: caregivers of individuals with early-onset dementia and older relative caregivers who are supporting adults with disabilities. The emphasis is not simply on general caregiver supports, but on supports that directly improve financial stability and the ability to stay employed or maintain job quality while caregiving.
The successful applicant is expected to demonstrate strong subject-matter expertise and the operational capacity to produce practical, scalable tools and assistance that can be adopted across states, regions, and tribal communities. The NOFO highlights several example activity areas. One major focus is developing, analyzing, and disseminating employee- and employer-facing tools and resources that help employed caregivers, such as guidance that workplaces can implement to better support workers with caregiving duties. Another core activity is identifying and distributing planning resources that help caregivers and care recipients anticipate care needs and navigate decisions that affect finances, benefits, and employment. The project is also expected to curate and share information on affordable long-term services and supports, helping networks connect families to cost-effective options and reduce the likelihood that caregivers shoulder unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses. In addition, ACL is looking for employer awareness and training efforts that can be developed, tested, and broadly disseminated, suggesting an expectation of pilots or iterative development followed by large-scale rollout. The NOFO leaves room for additional initiatives, as long as they clearly advance financial and workplace security for family caregivers.
From a funding and logistics standpoint, ACL anticipates making one award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $750,000. Applications were due December 6, 2023 (11:59 p.m. ET), and the opportunity was posted October 10, 2023. The CFDA/Assistance Listing associated with the opportunity is 93.052, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of entity types may apply, subject to any additional eligibility language included in the full announcement.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a national technical assistance and systems-improvement project aimed at helping the aging and tribal aging networks adopt more effective approaches to caregiver financial stability and employment-related supports. Rather than funding direct service expansion alone, it prioritizes tools, training, curated resources, and coordinated strategies that can be spread and implemented widely across OAA-funded programs, with particular attention to caregiver populations that are often underserved or face especially complex employment and financial pressures.Apply for HHS 2024 ACL AOA CGPS 0034
