Advancing Whole-Person Health: Enhancing Networks of Community-Based Aging and Disability Organizations to Improve Access to Long-Term Services and Supports

ACL intends to award a single cooperative agreement to one grantee for a three-year project period. This award will support a regional community care hub (CCH) scaling strategy to expand access to long-term services and supports (LTSS) for older adults and people with disabilities as part of a broader No Wrong Door System effort.The successful applicant will be expected to collaborate with ACL to support approximately three regional advanced CCHs to enable CCH scaling through shared infrastructure services and alignment with existing CCHs and other community-based aging and disability organizations. They should also have the capacity to provide technical assistance to the selected super hubs as they work to expand their infrastructure capacity to support streamlined access to LTSS through health care payer partnerships, with services inclusive of care transitions, care coordination, and evidence-based prevention/health promotion programs.
