 The Community Living Program: Supporting Independence
& Choice in the Community
-- Program Announcement & Grant Application Instructions
This program announcement provides an
opportunity for the state units on aging to modernize their approaches to service
delivery and to prioritize helping individuals who are at imminent risk
of nursing home placement but not eligible for Medicaid to avoid nursing
home placement and spend-down to Medicaid, consistent with the long-term
care provisions that were included in the 2006 Amendments to the Older
Americans Act.
Under this announcement, the Administration on Aging will award
Cooperative Agreements to assist State Units on Aging (SUA) to develop
Community Living Programs (formerly known as Nursing Home Diversion
Programs). A successful SUA applicant will propose to implement projects
in partnership with Area Agencies on Aging, Aging and Disability
Resource Centers (ADRC) or ADRC type providers, aging services provider
organizations, and other long-term care stakeholders including the Single
State Medicaid Agency that strengthen the capacity of the Aging Network
to target and serve individuals at highest risk of nursing home placement
and spend-down to Medicaid with flexible services, including offering
consumer directed options.
