Grants to Enhance State Adult Protective Services FY2020

This demonstration provides states funding to enhance their APS systems statewide, to include innovations and improvements in practice, services, and data collection and reporting, as well as in their technical ability to interface with ACL's National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS). The FY2020 opportunity is a pilot/demonstration to identify effective strategies and solutions that are expected to maximize the impact of direct home-and community-based social, health, and mental/behavioral health services for APS clients impacted by the opioid epidemic.

Eligible applicants are the state government offices that adminster the state's adult protective services and/or elder protective services program. These grants are awarded under and authorized by Section 2042(c)(1) and (3) of Title XX of the Social Security Act, Subtitle B, the Elder Justice Act of 2009 (EJA), which establishes the grants be made to States and that States are the eligible entity. Foreign entities are not eligible to compete for, or receive, awards made under this announcement.
