Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible Applicants States that received an AoA and CMS Aging and Disability Resource Center award in 2003 or 2004 are not eligible to apply for this funding opportunity. For a complete listing of these states go to http://www.aoa.gov/prof/aging_dis/statemap.asp. Only a state agency or instrumentality of a state may apply for a Resource Center grant.

This document of support may come in the form of a letter or memorandum of understanding at the time of application. As described in Section I of this solicitation, 12 months after the receipt of an ADRC award, these State agency partners will sign a work plan describing how they plan to streamline access to publicly funded long-term supports. A letter of support from the Governor indicating high level state executive support and designating the lead agency is also required. Applicants should also enclose the organizational chart for the application lead agency and State Medicaid Agency. Only one application per state will be funded. "State" refers to the definition provided under 45 CFR 74.2. Executive Order 12372 is not applicable to these grant applications.
Grant Description: The AoA/CMS Resource Center grants program reflects and supports the values of individual choice, independence, self-determination and community living inherent in President Bush's New Freedom Initiative. The grants awarded under this program will be another tool the Federal government is making available to help states tear down barriers to community living and redirect their systems of support to be more consumer-driven and more supportive of home and community-based service options. Building a sustainable infrastructure to support streamlined access to community based services and long-term care reform constitute over-arching goals of this initiative. The essence of the ADRC program is not about offering new services or adding staff, but re-aligning infrastructure and orienting staff.
