Opportunity Summary:
The Model Approaches Phase II Systems Expansion Grants (SEGs) is a discretionary funding opportunity from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) designed to strengthen and expand statewide legal assistance systems serving older adults, especially those in the greatest social or economic need. The intent is to help states that are already implementing Model Approaches Phase II projects push their systems to a higher level of capacity, performance, and measurable impact, so limited legal resources can be used more effectively and reach the people who most need help.
This announcement makes available two cooperative agreement awards to support state-level leadership in implementing system innovations. The grants focus on taking what Phase II grantees have already built and moving it further through targeted systems enhancements. The work is meant to improve how legal services are delivered statewide, not just to fund isolated direct-service activities. A central emphasis is creating improvements that can be sustained over time and that other states can replicate, including other Model Approaches Phase I and Phase II sites.
The types of system expansion activities highlighted in the announcement include expanding low-cost legal service delivery mechanisms (for example, approaches that stretch attorney time and reduce barriers to access), improving targeting and outreach to reach older adults with the greatest needs, and strengthening legal responses connected to elder abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. The FOA also emphasizes building the knowledge and expertise of both aging network providers and legal service providers around priority legal issues affecting older adults. Another major theme is partnership development, encouraging states to broaden and deepen collaborations that improve overall service delivery in priority areas. Finally, ACL points to the importance of legal services data collection and reporting systems that can demonstrate real-world benefits, such as improvements in independence, health outcomes, and financial security for older adults.
The awards are structured as cooperative agreements, meaning ACL expects to work closely with the grantees during implementation rather than operating as a hands-off funder. Each award provides a federal share of approximately $10,500 for a one-year project period, with an estimated total funding amount of $21,000 across both awards. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both $10,500, indicating a fixed award size per selected recipient.
Eligibility is limited and specific. Only current awardees of the 2013 Model Approaches Phase II grants may apply, and only seven states are eligible: California, District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa, Michigan, Nebraska, and Maine. Within each eligible state, the applicant must be the entity that houses the State Legal Assistance Developer (LAD). The application must include a detailed plan showing the LADs direct, ongoing leadership involvement in the design, implementation, evaluation, and sustainability of the proposed innovations, including direct involvement in leading the SEG activities. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are not eligible.
Key administrative details include the Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-LE-0087, CFDA 93.048 (Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects), and a posting date of June 5, 2014. Applications were due July 7, 2014 by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time, and the opportunity was archived on August 6, 2014.
