Opportunity Summary:
The ADRC Sustainability Program Expansion Supplemental Opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2012-ACL-DR-1213) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Administration on Aging (within ACL) to help states strengthen and sustain their Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) Options Counseling Programs. The main purpose is to support states that are already operating ADRC Options Counseling systems as they build long-term staying power, especially by aligning their ADRC work with broader health system transformation efforts and related financing and partnerships connected to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to help states move from building and piloting ADRC capabilities to embedding them into how the state and its partner agencies routinely deliver Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) information, counseling, and access.
The program is centered on two sustainability goals. First, it aims to expand and strengthen the ADRC Options Counseling Program so it can effectively serve people across ages, income levels, and disability types by adopting a No Wrong Door (NWD) approach. NWD is emphasized because it broadens the ADRC beyond a single entry point or single agency model. Instead, it expects states to operationally involve a wide range of community agencies and organizations so that individuals can start the process from multiple “doors†and still receive consistent, coordinated help. This includes reaching older adults, people with physical disabilities of any age, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, culturally and ethnically diverse communities, and also people who may pay privately for services. The funding encourages states to use the flexibility of the NWD concept to structure and operate ADRC functions in ways that fit their state systems while still delivering the required core services.
Second, the opportunity prioritizes building financially sustainable ADRC models by developing revenue streams from multiple public programs, rather than relying on a single grant source. The announcement specifically points to blending or braiding support from programs such as Medicaid, Medicare, the Older Americans Act, the Veterans Health Administration, and other relevant public funding sources. The intent is to ensure that key ADRC Options Counseling activities have durable financing, including outreach, screening and assessment of LTSS needs, person- and family-centered service planning, connecting individuals to needed services, supporting self-directed service options, helping people understand and pursue eligibility for public programs, and conducting follow-up. In other words, the grant is designed to help states institutionalize ADRC Options Counseling as an ongoing function that public systems pay for because it supports better access, coordination, and navigation of LTSS.
Eligibility is limited and targeted. Applicants must be existing ADRC grantees that received a three-year award in FY 2009, and only one application may be submitted per state. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching. It was posted May 31, 2012, with a closing date of July 11, 2012, and an archive date of July 12, 2012. The program planned for an estimated 40 awards, with total estimated funding of $6.9 million. Individual awards were expected to range from $102,000 (floor) to $340,000 (ceiling). The CFDA number listed is 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects), and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services.
Overall, this supplemental opportunity is best understood as a continuation-and-sustainability push for states already invested in ADRC Options Counseling. Rather than focusing on starting ADRCs from scratch, it focuses on expanding capacity through a No Wrong Door network of partners and locking in long-term financing across multiple public programs so that ADRC Options Counseling functions remain available, consistent, and statewide well after time-limited grant funds end.
