Disaster Assistance for State Units on Aging (SUAs) and Tribal Organizations in National Disasters Declared by the President

 

Grants awarded under this announcement are to provide disaster reimbursement and assistance funds to those State Units on Aging (SUAs) and federally recognized Tribal organizations who are currently receiving a grant under Title VI of the Older Americans Act (OAA), as amended. These funds only become available when the President declares a National Disaster and may only be used in those areas designated in the Disaster Declaration issued by the President of the United States. Eligible SUAs and Title VI grantees should discuss all disaster applications with ACL/AoA Regional staff before submitting a formal application. The amount of funds requested should be discussed with Regional staff before the application is completed. Providing a draft of the narrative justification for the application will help expedite the processing of an award. Applicants should talk with the State and local Emergency Managers to determine what funds may be available through other resources before applying for OAA funding. State Units on Aging (SUAs) and federally recognized Tribal organizations currently receiving a grant under Title VI of the Older Americans Act must submit proposals electronically via http://www.grants.gov/web/grants.
