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 HHS 2010 AOA DA 1002) is a discretionary federal grant program administered by the Administration on Aging (AoA). Its main purpose is to reimburse and support disaster-related response and recovery activities carried out by State Units on Aging and federally recognized tribal organizations that already receive funding under Title VI of the Older Americans Act (OAA), as amended. In plain terms, it is designed as a targeted, post-disaster funding source to help aging-service networks address urgent needs affecting older adults when a major event disrupts normal services and creates additional, unplanned costs.
A key feature of this opportunity is that funding is conditional and geographically limited. Money under this announcement only becomes available after the President of the United States declares a National Disaster, and even then it can only be used for the specific locations named in the official Disaster Declaration. That means applicants cannot use these funds for general preparedness work or for areas outside the declared disaster zone. The program is framed around disaster reimbursement and assistance, implying that applicants should be prepared to explain what disaster-driven expenses or extraordinary service demands occurred and how requested funds will cover eligible costs tied directly to the declared event.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. Only state governments acting through their State Units on Aging, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments that are current Title VI OAA grantees, may apply. The opportunity is categorized under Income Security and Social Services, and it is linked to CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects). There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds to receive an award, which can be important during disasters when budgets are already strained.
Coordination with AoA Regional staff is emphasized as a practical requirement, not a suggestion. Eligible applicants are expected to discuss their disaster application with AoA Regional staff before submitting anything formally, and they should also discuss the amount of funding they plan to request before finishing the application. The announcement notes that providing a draft of the narrative justification can speed up award processing, which signals that AoA is trying to move funds quickly when disasters occur but still needs a clear written rationale that links activities and costs to the disaster. In addition, applicants are encouraged to consult with state and local Emergency Managers first to identify whether other disaster funding streams are available, and to understand how this OAA disaster assistance should fit alongside other federal, state, local, or charitable resources rather than duplicating them.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants are expected to download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the Grants.gov portal. The opportunity originally posted on January 15, 2010, with a closing date of September 17, 2010, and it was archived on October 17, 2010. The agency anticipated about five awards. The funding range listed shows an award floor of $20,000 and an award ceiling of $100,000, while the estimated total funding is shown as $0, which typically indicates that the agency could not pre-state a total amount because funds depend on whether and where disasters occur and what Congress and the agency make available at the time of a declaration.
For applicants or organizations trying to understand the next steps, the announcement points to AoA resources at http://www.aoa.gov/AoARoot/Grants/Funding/index.aspx and provides a contact for access issues: Irma Tetzloff (Irma.Tetzloff@aoa.hhs.gov) under Grants Policy. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a responsive, event-triggered funding mechanism that helps SUAs and eligible tribal aging programs cover disaster-driven service demands for older adults in federally declared disaster areas, with strong expectations for early coordination with AoA regional staff and alignment with broader emergency management funding and planning.
