Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOA DASG 0002
The Disaster Assistance for State Units on Aging (SUAs) and Tribal Organizations in Major Disasters Declared by the President opportunity is a discretionary federal funding program run by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is designed to provide reimbursement and direct assistance funding when older adult services are disrupted by a federally declared major disaster. The funding is not standing or routine support; it becomes available only after the President issues a Major Disaster Declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, and funds can only be used for the specific geographic areas named in that declaration. In practical terms, this program is meant to help aging-service networks and eligible Tribal programs respond to and recover from disaster-related needs affecting older adults, including costs that arise specifically because of the disaster and that fit within the allowable uses of Older Americans Act disaster authorities.
Eligible applicants are limited to State Units on Aging and federally recognized Tribal Organizations that are already receiving a Title VI grant under the Older Americans Act (OAA). This is an important eligibility boundary: it is not open to the general public, local providers that are not the SUA, or organizations that do not already hold Title VI funding. The program uses a cooperative agreement as its funding instrument, which typically means ACL anticipates active involvement and coordination with the awardees rather than a hands-off grant relationship. The funding activity category is listed as Income Security and Social Services, and the assistance listing/CFDA number associated with the program is 93.048.
A central feature of this opportunity is the required coordination with ACL Regional staff before an application is formally submitted. Prospective applicants are expected to consult with their ACL Regional Office to discuss whether the situation aligns with program requirements, what costs are being requested, and what level of funding is appropriate. The notice specifically encourages applicants to share a draft narrative justification with the Regional Office in advance, because doing so can speed up review and award processing. There is also an explicit expectation that applicants coordinate with state and local emergency managers to determine whether other federal, state, local, or insurance resources may be available first, so that OAA disaster funds are targeted appropriately and not duplicative of other assistance streams.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants download the application package, complete it offline, and then upload and submit through the Grants.gov system. The opportunity information provided lists the opportunity number as HHS-2023-ACL-AOA-DASG-0002, with a creation date of October 21, 2022. The original closing date is September 5, 2023, and applications were due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the listed deadline. The funding announcement indicates an award ceiling of $600,000 and anticipates approximately 7 awards, indicating that awards may vary depending on the scope of the disaster impacts, the size of the affected area, and the demonstrated need and justification presented by eligible SUAs or Title VI Tribal grantees.
Overall, this opportunity is essentially a targeted disaster-response and recovery funding mechanism for the aging services infrastructure, activated only when a presidential major disaster declaration is in place and limited to the declared areas. The program emphasizes advance coordination with ACL Regional staff, careful justification of requested amounts, and awareness of other emergency funding resources, with the goal of quickly getting appropriate support to eligible aging and Tribal programs serving older adults during major disasters.Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOA DASG 0002
