This 45-minute webinar is designed to equip disability and aging agencies and workforce development professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to effectively understand and apply for the Digital Equity Act Competitive Grant Program.

ACL has awarded $5 million to the Oasis Institute for a new grant that will further the development, expansion, and refinement of the Community Care Corps model. This project is designed to increase the number of community-based volunteer programs, thus decreasing the number of older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers who need assistance but cannot obtain help.

The President's Committee for People with Intellectual Disabilities (PCPID) will be hosting its next meeting on Thursday, September 26, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. ET and Friday, September 27, 2024 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET.

ACL has awarded a new cooperative agreement to the University of Southern California (USC) to operate ACL’s National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA). USC will receive $1 million for the first year of this three-year project. With this funding, the NCEA will continue to serve as a national resource center dedicated to the prevention of elder maltreatment as captured in its mission statement: "National, state, and local partners in the field will be fully prepared to ensure that older Americans will live with dignity, integrity, independence, and without abuse, neglect, and exploitation."

ACL is pleased to announce the award of the 2024 Enhancing Statewide Falls Prevention Awareness, Strategy, and Collaboration funding opportunity to the National Council on Aging (NCOA). The intent of this initiative is to facilitate the development and enhancement of collaborative efforts of state falls prevention coalitions to reduce falls or the risk of falls, or both, among older adults and adults with disabilities, as well as their families and caregivers.

ACL and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Office of Disability Integration and Coordination (ODIC) invite you to the third event of this year’s webinar series to support individuals with disabilities and older adults — and the organizations that serve them — before, during, and after disasters. This webinar will address preparedness, response, and recovery related to hurricanes.

This symposium will connect federal, state, and local public health and aging leaders — as well as other stakeholders — to the latest science, best practices, and innovative interventions to improve the lives of older Americans.

Their 2023-2024 Expect, Engage, Empower Symposium Series offers an opportunity for the field to join OSERS in the challenge to raise expectations, engage families earlier, and fully empower all individuals who support transition services to improve post-school outcomes for children and youth with disabilities and their families. This webinar will focus on the importance of collaboration between special education, vocational rehabilitation, and centers for independent living.

This webinar will highlight how legal assistance providers can reinforce a valuable rights-based perspective and ensure older adults receive equal treatment and access to housing. Speakers will share practical examples of strategies for legal assistance providers to integrate into an existing social service network fighting for housing rights.

The webinar will focus on lessons learned from the delivery of Without Warning, a support program for those living with younger-onset Alzheimer's disease from the Rush Alzheimer's Disease Center.
