Opportunity Summary:
The Alzheimer's Disease Initiative - Specialized Supportive Services (ADI-SSS) grant opportunity is a federal cooperative agreement program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL). It was financed solely with 2016 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF 2016) and released as a discretionary funding opportunity under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2016-ACL-AOA-ALGG-0152 (CFDA 93.763). The core goal is to strengthen real-world, community-based long term services and supports (LTSS) systems so they are more "dementia-capable" for people living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias (ADRD), as well as individuals at risk of developing ADRD and the family members or other caregivers who support them.
This program is aimed at organizations that are already operating within existing LTSS networks and can demonstrate a clear commitment to reaching populations with the greatest need. Rather than building entirely new systems from scratch, the opportunity emphasizes expanding and improving what is already in place, with services that make LTSS more responsive to the unique challenges of dementia. Applicants are expected to propose a service approach that directly addresses major unmet needs: specifically, projects must expand their dementia-capable service system in a way that tackles three out of four service gaps laid out in the official Funding Opportunity Announcement. In other words, a competitive proposal would not be narrow or one-off; it would be designed as a broader system improvement effort that closes multiple, clearly defined gaps in supportive services for people with ADRD and their caregivers.
Funding was structured with an award ceiling of $1,000,000 per award and an anticipated total of about 10 awards. The application window opened with the opportunity posted on May 25, 2016, and the closing date was July 24, 2016. Because this is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, applicants should expect a more active federal partnership during the project period, typically involving ongoing coordination, reporting, and participation in federally supported technical assistance activities.
A key feature of ADI-SSS is the built-in technical assistance component. Grantees receive targeted support from the National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center, which is funded through a separate contract under the Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP). This matters because it signals that awardees are not left to interpret best practices alone; the program is designed to help projects implement dementia-capable approaches more consistently, share lessons learned, and align their work with emerging national standards and proven models of supportive services.
Eligibility for the program was intentionally broad to encourage strong local and regional solutions across many types of community systems. Eligible applicants included state, county, and municipal governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments and tribal organizations; public housing authorities (including Indian housing authorities); nonprofit organizations with and without 501(c)(3) status; for-profit organizations (including those other than small businesses); small businesses; and other entities as clarified in the opportunity's additional eligibility guidance. This wide eligibility pool reflects the reality that dementia-capable LTSS often involves cross-sector partnerships that may include aging services, health and social service providers, community-based nonprofits, housing organizations, and educational or training institutions.
In practical terms, the ADI-SSS opportunity can be understood as a targeted investment in expanding specialized supportive services for dementia within existing community infrastructures. It prioritizes high-need populations, requires applicants to address multiple defined service gaps rather than a single isolated issue, and pairs funding with technical assistance to promote effective implementation and sustainability.
