Description
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is seeking applications for the Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) to enhance workforce capacity in the National Aging Network with the inclusion of dementia-capable Community Health Workers (CHWs). The goal of this program is to develop a person-centered workforce that improves both the quality and availability of dementia services, helping more people live well in their communities. Key activities include providing community-based dementia screenings, delivering dementia-specific Evidence-Based or Evidence-Informed Interventions, and addressing barriers to care.
• The program aims to support individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.
• CHWs will operate as both service providers and service connectors.
• The program will focus on expanding services and infrastructure in the National Aging Network.
• Applicants must demonstrate a viable plan for expanding and strengthening resources made available by aging and disability networks.
• The program will prioritize applications that align with agency priorities, including expanding and strengthening resources and embedding formal and informal caregiving in health and social systems.
