Opportunity Summary:
The Disaster Assistance for State Units on Aging (SUAs) and Tribal Organizations in National Disasters Declared by the President grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number AOA DA 14 002) was a discretionary federal grant program offered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Its purpose was to provide targeted disaster-related support to aging-service systems when a major disaster has been declared by the President, recognizing that older adults and people with disabilities often face heightened risks during and after emergencies. The program sits within the broader federal portfolio of income security and social services, and it is associated with CFDA 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects.
This opportunity was structured as a grant (rather than a contract or cooperative agreement) and did not require any cost sharing or matching funds, which can be important for applicants operating under tight post-disaster budgets. Awards were relatively small and focused, with a stated funding range from a floor of $50,000 to a ceiling of $100,000 per award. In practice, that size suggests the funding was intended to quickly address urgent, practical needs tied to disaster response and recovery for older adults, such as restoring access to supportive services, reestablishing community-based aging supports disrupted by the event, and helping eligible agencies stabilize operations so they can continue serving vulnerable populations.
Eligibility was limited to governmental entities most directly responsible for aging services infrastructure: state governments, specifically State Units on Aging, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments. By restricting eligibility this way, the program emphasized channeling resources through official aging-service authorities that can coordinate across local providers and integrate disaster assistance with existing Older Americans Act networks and tribal service systems. The title also makes clear that the triggering context is a national disaster declared by the President, meaning the funding was meant to align with federally recognized disaster events rather than smaller-scale emergencies that do not receive that designation.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on February 19, 2014, with the record created on February 21, 2014. The application window closed on September 12, 2014, and the announcement was later archived on October 12, 2014, indicating it was a time-limited solicitation rather than an open, continuously available program listing. The Opportunity Category was listed as discretionary, which generally means funds are awarded competitively based on the announcement criteria and available appropriations, rather than automatically distributed by formula.
For applicants or interested parties needing help with accessing the full announcement, the public-facing support route listed was the Grants.gov Contact Center, available 24/7 except federal holidays, at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. This contact information reflects that applications and full documentation were expected to be accessed and managed electronically through Grants.gov, which is standard for federal discretionary grant competitions.
