Opportunity Summary:
The ADRC Options Counseling and Assistance Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2010 AOA OC 1025) was a discretionary cooperative agreement program run by the U.S. Administration on Aging (AoA) under CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). Its core purpose was to strengthen and expand Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) as recognizable, trusted entry points where older adults, people with disabilities, and their families could get clear, unbiased, and practical help navigating long-term services and supports. The program emphasized making ADRCs highly visible in their communities and positioning them as dependable places to learn about the full spectrum of long-term care options, including both facility-based (institutional) care and home and community-based services.
A central theme of the grant was consumer-centered options counseling. Rather than simply handing out brochures or referring people from one office to another, ADRCs supported under this opportunity were expected to provide personalized, user-friendly assistance that helps individuals understand choices, compare services, and make informed decisions that fit their needs, preferences, and circumstances. The intent was to empower consumers and caregivers with tailored guidance, including support for people who want to plan ahead for future long-term care needs before a crisis occurs.
The opportunity also focused heavily on systems coordination. Funded ADRC efforts were meant to create more coordinated and streamlined access to publicly supported long-term care programs so consumers could enter through a single, simplified pathway. In practice, this meant pushing toward a single intake approach and more unified assessment and eligibility determination processes, reducing duplication and delays across agencies and programs. The broader goal was to make it easier for people to get the services they qualify for without being bounced between multiple offices with different forms, timelines, and rules.
Another key element was Medicare-related assistance, specifically tied to the Medicare Modernization Act. ADRCs were expected to work in coordination with the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) to help Medicare beneficiaries understand and access Medicare prescription drug coverage and preventive health benefits. This component underscored the ADRC role not only in long-term care navigation but also in connecting people to related benefits that can affect health outcomes and service planning.
Funding for this announcement was estimated at $10,000,000 total, with an expected 25 awards. Individual awards were projected to range from $400,000 (floor) to $600,000 (ceiling). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement listed. The posting timeline shows it was posted June 3, 2010 (created June 10, 2010), with an original and final closing date of July 30, 2010, and an archive date of August 29, 2010.
Eligibility was limited and targeted to states with prior ADRC or related grant investments. Only a state agency or instrumentality of a state could apply, and only if the state had previously received certain AoA/CMS ADRC grants (funded in fiscal years 2003, 2004, 2005, and 2009) and/or CMS Person-Centered Hospital Discharge Planning Model grants (fiscal years 2008 and 2009), and if the state continued to implement and operate the ADRC activities supported by those earlier awards. AoA would accept only one application per state, and the applicant agency needed documented support and active participation from the State Unit on Aging, the Single State Medicaid Agency, and state disability agencies where applicable. Executive Order 12372 did not apply to these applications.
The administering agency was the Administration on Aging, and the contact listed for access issues with the full announcement was Sean Lewis, Grants Management Specialist, at (202) 357-3445.
