Opportunity Summary:
The Veterans Directed Home and Community Based Services Technical Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2014 ACL CDAP CP 0082) was a FY 2014 discretionary grant from the U.S. Administration for Community Living (ACL) designed to fund one organization to serve as a national technical assistance provider for Veterans Directed programs and related consumer-directed service options. The core purpose was to continue and strengthen implementation support for providers within the Aging and Disability Network that were developing or operating Veterans Directed Home and Community-Based Services (often referred to as Veterans Directed programs), which emphasize participant direction, consumer choice, and greater control by the individual receiving services.
This funding used a cooperative agreement mechanism, meaning ACL anticipated an active partnership with the awardee rather than a hands-off grant relationship. Under this structure, the selected organization would typically be expected to coordinate closely with ACL on deliverables, provide ongoing guidance to local and state entities, and help translate participant-directed philosophy into workable program operations. The overall aim was capacity-building: improving the ability of network providers to design, launch, refine, and sustain Veterans Directed approaches and other consumer-directed options, including the practical details of administration, policy alignment, and implementation challenges that arise when moving from traditional service models to participant-directed models.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $255,000. The award ceiling was $255,000 and the award floor was $125,000, indicating ACL expected proposals to fall within that range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the recipient would have to contribute non-federal resources in accordance with the announcement requirements. The CFDA listing associated with the funding was 93.048, Special Programs for the Aging, Title IV and Title II Discretionary Projects, placing it within a broader portfolio of discretionary aging-related initiatives.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted in the sense that multiple types of entities could apply, but the announcement set very specific competency expectations for who could realistically be competitive. Applicants needed demonstrated expertise working across the Aging, Disability, and Veterans networks, along with deep knowledge of participant direction programs, including the philosophy and the real-world mechanics of implementation. ACL also required documented experience providing training and technical assistance specifically tied to developing participant-directed programs. At the same time, some categories were explicitly excluded: individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorship organizations could not compete for or receive an award under this announcement.
Key dates reflected a standard federal discretionary grant timeline for that year. The opportunity was posted May 5, 2014, with an application deadline of June 4, 2014. Electronic submissions were required by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. The archive date was July 4, 2014, meaning the listing was later moved into an archived status after the competition period ended.
Administratively, the sponsoring agency was ACL, and the funding activity category was Income Security and Social Services, consistent with the program focus on community-based supports and service system improvements. The public listing included a link to ACLs funding announcements page for full details and referenced a point of contact for access issues: Eric Weakly (Eric.Weakly@acl.gov) in grants policy. Overall, the opportunity was a targeted investment to maintain and extend national-level technical assistance infrastructure so that more Aging and Disability Network providers could effectively deliver and scale Veterans Directed services and other consumer-directed models in ways that align with participant choice and independence.
