The Administration for Community Living (ACL) released its first comprehensive report on the accomplishment of Older Americans Act (OAA) Title III, VI, and VII programs.

ACL has recently awarded the South Carolina Department of Disabilities and Special Needs (SCDDSN) a four-year Traumatic Brain Injury State Partnership Program (TBI SPP) grant from August 1, 2022, to July 31, 2026, totaling $800,000.  

ACL is announcing a new grant award to develop a National Transportation Accessibility Center (NTAC). The grant of $485,000 over a one-year period has been awarded to the Community Transportation Association of America (CTAA), which will be partnering with the UMass Boston Institute for Community Inclusion, USAging, and DJB Consulting. NTAC also will work closely with people who need or use transportation services, the transportation sector, and an array of national, state and local organizations throughout the country.

Celebrated every October, NDEAM is an opportunity to recognize the contributions of people with disabilities to our workplaces and economy. Led by the U.S. Department of Labor's Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP), NDEAM also showcases supportive, inclusive policies and practices that benefit workers and employers alike. This year's theme, Disability: Part of the Equity Equation, recognizes the important role that individuals with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive American workforce.

The National Adult Protective Services Training Center (NATC), funded by ACL and administered by the National Adult Protective Services Association (NAPSA), provides self-paced eLearning courses for APS professionals throughout the United States. While designed to support APS professionals, the NATC is also available to allied professionals interested in learning more about adult maltreatment and the work of APS.
