Opportunity Summary:
The "State Grants to Enhance Adult Protective Services" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2016 ACL AOA EJSG 0167) is a discretionary federal grant offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning awardees should expect an active partnership with the federal agency that may include substantial involvement in planning, implementation, reporting, and shared problem-solving during the grant period. The program sits within the Income Security and Social Services funding activity area and is listed under CFDA 93.747.
The core purpose of the demonstration is to help states strengthen Adult Protective Services (APS) systems across the entire state, rather than supporting isolated local projects. The funding is aimed at practical, system-level improvements, including enhancing APS practices and the services provided to adults experiencing or at risk of maltreatment. A major emphasis is also placed on improving how APS programs collect, manage, and report data, with a specific focus on building or upgrading the technical capacity needed to connect with and submit information to ACLs National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS). In other words, the grant is not just about direct service improvement; it also targets modernization and standardization of APS data infrastructure so states can report consistent information and contribute to national-level understanding of adult maltreatment trends and outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, reflecting the statewide systems-change focus and the expectation that a single statewide authority will coordinate improvements, policies, and reporting. The opportunity anticipated up to 20 awards, with an award ceiling of $206,000 per award. The funding announcement was created and posted on March 31, 2016, and the application closing date was May 31, 2016.
