Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2017 ACL AOA ALGG 0227
The Alzheimer's Disease Initiative - Specialized Supportive Services (ADI-SSS) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HHS 2017 ACL AOA ALGG 0227) is a discretionary, cooperative agreement program offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the Administration for Community Living (ACL). It is financed solely by the 2017 Prevention and Public Health Funds (PPHF 2017) and is listed under CFDA 93.763, with its federal activity focus categorized as Income Security and Social Services. In practical terms, this opportunity is designed to strengthen real-world, community-based supports for people living with Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, as well as the family members and other caregivers who often provide the bulk of day-to-day care.
The central purpose of ADI-SSS is to fund community-based organizations that are already operating within, or closely connected to, existing dementia-capable long-term services and supports (LTSS) systems. Rather than building entirely new infrastructure from scratch, the program emphasizes improving and expanding specialized supportive services in systems that can realistically deliver them. The program is specifically oriented toward populations with the greatest need, including individuals living with dementia, those at risk of developing dementia, and their caregivers. Applicants are expected to show a clear commitment to reaching those high-need groups and to delivering services that are appropriate for the complexities of dementia care.
A key feature of this funding announcement is that successful applicants must propose services that address three out of four service gaps identified in the official Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). While the summary text does not list the four gaps explicitly, the requirement signals that ACL is looking for comprehensive, multi-pronged projects rather than single, narrow interventions. In other words, projects are expected to tackle several well-defined deficiencies in the local dementia support landscape, demonstrating an intentional plan to close multiple gaps at once and better align community services with what people with dementia and caregivers actually need.
The awards are structured as cooperative agreements, meaning recipients should expect ongoing federal involvement beyond a typical grant. Cooperative agreements generally include substantial interaction with the funding agency around implementation, learning, and performance expectations. Another major support built into the program is targeted technical assistance delivered through the National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center. This resource center, funded under a separate contract through the Alzheimer's Disease Supportive Services Program (ADSSP), provides grantees with guidance, tools, and expertise intended to strengthen program design, implementation quality, and consistency with best practices in dementia-capable service delivery.
Eligibility is broad and includes many kinds of public, nonprofit, educational, and private entities. Eligible applicants include county governments, city or township governments, special district governments, independent school districts, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, federally recognized Native American tribal governments, other tribal organizations, public housing authorities and Indian housing authorities, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), for-profit organizations other than small businesses, small businesses, and additional eligible entities as clarified in the FOA's eligibility details. This broad eligibility reflects the reality that dementia supportive services are delivered through many different community channels, including aging services networks, health and social service providers, housing-linked services, and cross-sector partnerships.
From an administrative perspective, the opportunity was created on May 15, 2017, with an original application closing date of July 14, 2017. Applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date. ACL anticipated making approximately 12 awards, with an award ceiling of up to $1,000,000 per award, indicating an intent to fund a limited number of relatively substantial projects capable of producing meaningful service improvements.
Overall, this ADI-SSS opportunity is aimed at advancing dementia-capable community systems by investing in organizations that can deliver specialized supportive services, focus on high-need populations, and close multiple identified service gaps. Grantees are not left to operate in isolation; they are expected to benefit from structured technical assistance and guidance through the National Alzheimer's and Dementia Resource Center, supporting stronger execution and broader learning across funded projects.Apply for HHS 2017 ACL AOA ALGG 0227
