Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL AOA IELT 0046

The Tribal Long Term Service and Support National Resource Center funding opportunity (HHS-2023-ACL-AOA-IELT-0046) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Community Living (ACL), administered through the Office of American Indian, Alaska Natives and Native Hawaiian Programs (OAIANNHP). It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected awardee should expect ongoing collaboration with ACL rather than operating entirely independently. The grant is designed to fund a single National Resource Center focused specifically on American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian long-term services and supports (LTSS) over a five-year project period.

The central purpose of the resource center is to close gaps in tribal-specific and culturally appropriate LTSS information, technical assistance, and practical guidance. The opportunity recognizes that many tribes face unmet needs in designing and running LTSS systems that fit local culture, community structures, and real-world service constraints. By creating a dedicated national hub, ACL aims to strengthen how tribes plan, develop, and implement services that support older adults and people with disabilities, while also reinforcing tribal self-determination and culturally grounded program design.

The announcement lays out two primary outcomes. First, the resource center is expected to build a network of “navigators” by recruiting and training individuals who can work directly with tribes. These navigators are intended to help tribal communities identify their own LTSS priorities and then translate those priorities into workable, community-appropriate program approaches. The focus is not a one-size-fits-all model, but responsive support tailored to each tribe’s needs, capacity, and cultural context. Second, the resource center must develop a practical, hands-on toolkit informed by documented best practices. This toolkit is meant to be directly usable by tribes as they implement or improve LTSS in their own communities, emphasizing applicability and real implementation steps rather than only general guidance.

While the resource center’s services are intended to benefit tribal communities broadly, the FOA highlights a targeted emphasis on the 28 tribes that receive Title VI grants under OAIANNHP. In practice, that means the center should prioritize and align support with those Title VI grantees’ needs, while still producing publicly available resources that any tribe, Native organization, or partner organization serving American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations can access and use. The overall goal is improved quality of life and stronger supports for people served through ACL-related systems, achieved by helping tribes develop LTSS that are both effective and integrated into each community’s unique culture.

From an applicant and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is open to a wide range of entity types, including federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, state and local governments, public and private institutions of higher education, nonprofits (with or without 501(c)(3) status), and for-profit organizations (other than small businesses), among others as clarified in the eligibility section of the full notice. The posted award ceiling is $250,000, and the posting listed an expected number of awards as 5, although the narrative description states ACL is proposing to award one new cooperative agreement to operate the national resource center. The funding opportunity was posted May 17, 2023, with an original application closing date of July 17, 2023, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
