Program Description
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is announcing its
intent to award single source non-competing continuation cooperative
agreements to two Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program
(ADSSP) projects. Resources dedicated to the ADSSP grant program are
restricted to the support of grants to states designed to expand the
availability of dementia-capable support services for persons with
Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD), their families and
caregivers.
[[Page 51277]]
There are currently 15 active ADSSP grantees engaged in the
development of dementia-capable systems in their state to support
individuals with ADRD and their caregivers. ACL will provide additional
resources to support the expansion of promising program activities
under existing ADSSP projects in the states of Minnesota and Ohio. Both
the Minnesota and Ohio grantees are engaged in projects that are
building the dementia-capability of their state systems that merit
expansion. The state of Minnesota will expand on their existing program
efforts to build strong linkages between a Health Care Partner (HCP)
and Community Based Organizations (CBO). The state of Ohio will expand
on their existing ADSSP project goal to enrich the lives of veterans
suffering from cognitive and physical challenges and their caregivers
by expanding Ohio's Music & Memory\SM\ program living in their homes
and communities.
Justification: ACL is committed to the success, continued expansion
and sustainability of ADSSP projects. Each of the identified existing
cooperative agreement projects has components within them from which
the communities that they serve will benefit and merit uninterrupted
expansion. To ensure uninterrupted continuation toward achieving and
exceeding their goals and objectives and expansion of program efforts,
ACL plans to issue one-year non-competing awards to both the Minnesota
Board on Aging and the Ohio Department on Aging.
