AoA Announces Availability of $5 Million for Community Aging in Place Programs
Projects will help older Americans to stay in their communities
Acting Assistant Secretary for Aging Edwin L. Walker is pleased to announce the availability of $5 million for Community Innovations for Aging in Place (CIAIP) grants. These new projects will promote aging in place for older individuals by developing and implementing innovative, cost effective, comprehensive and coordinated health and social services including evidence-based disease prevention and health promotion services that allow them to continue to live in their communities among their families and friends. The Community Innovations for Aging in Place program, included in the Older Americans Act Amendments of 2006, is modeled after Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCS). NORCS are neighborhoods where seniors can age in place with access to necessary support resources including transportation, health programs and social services. The CIAIP projects will build on the success of NORCS while integrating additional innovative models of aging in place. The closing date for CIAIP and cooperative agreement applications under this announcement is Wednesday, July 15, 2009. For more information about the CIAIP program, please contact: Deborahburns.Kuhn@aoa.hhs.gov To learn more about this opportunity, please visit http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx
