Opportunity Summary:
The Advancing Person Centered, Trauma Informed Supportive Services for Holocaust Survivors grant opportunity is a competitive federal funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living, specifically the Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA). Its purpose is to strengthen and expand supportive services for Holocaust survivors living in the United States by promoting approaches that are both person centered (driven by an individual survivor's goals, preferences, culture, and day-to-day realities) and trauma informed (designed with an understanding of the lasting effects of severe trauma and with an emphasis on safety, trust, choice, collaboration, and empowerment). The overall intent is not only to improve direct services in communities, but also to build broader capacity across the country so systems serving older adults are better prepared to meet survivors' specialized needs.
The funded work is organized around two core priority areas. First, the grantee is expected to advance local innovation by delivering person centered, trauma informed supportive services to Holocaust survivors in the U.S. This implies designing, improving, or scaling practical service models that work on the ground, such as enhanced case management, care coordination, culturally competent in-home supports, transportation, nutrition supports, social connection programming, and other human services that help survivors remain safe, stable, and connected. Second, the grantee must contribute to improving the nation's overall capacity to deliver person centered, trauma informed health and human services for this population. In practice, this points to activities that spread knowledge and strengthen systems beyond a single site, such as developing replicable tools, guidance, partnerships, workforce training concepts, and strategies that can be adopted by other providers and aging-service networks.
This opportunity was offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement, which typically means substantial federal involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Income Security and Social Services, and the award is tied to CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). ACL anticipated making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding and the maximum (ceiling) amount available were both listed as $2,467,500, with no minimum (floor) specified. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the recipient would be expected to contribute non-federal resources consistent with the program rules described in the full announcement.
Eligible applicants were limited to nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships were explicitly not eligible to apply or receive an award under this notice. The opportunity was posted on June 1, 2015, and applications were due by July 31, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, with the notice later archived on August 30, 2015. The official funding opportunity number was HHS-2015-ACL-AOA-HS-0111. Applicants needing help accessing materials were directed to contact Greg Link at ACL (Greg.Link@acl.hhs.gov), and additional details were made available through ACL's funding announcements page.
