Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2025 ACL AOA DASG 0006
This funding opportunity, titled Disaster Assistance for State Units on Aging (SUAs) and Tribal Organizations in Major Disasters Declared by the President (HHS 2025 ACL AOA DASG 0006), is a discretionary cooperative agreement program run by the Administration for Community Living (ACL). Its purpose is to provide disaster-related reimbursement and assistance funds to organizations that already operate older adult services under the Older Americans Act (OAA). The funding is specifically intended to help SUAs and eligible Tribal grantees address urgent needs and costs that arise when a disaster disrupts services for older adults, particularly those who may be isolated, medically vulnerable, or dependent on community-based supports.
A key condition of this program is that funds only become available after the President of the United States issues a Major Disaster declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Even then, the money can only be used in the geographic areas officially named in the disaster declaration. In practical terms, that means an otherwise eligible organization cannot use these funds for routine emergency preparedness work or for incidents that have not been federally declared a Major Disaster, and they also cannot spend the award outside the federally designated disaster-affected areas.
Eligibility is limited to two groups. First, State Units on Aging in states where some or all of the state has been declared a federal Major Disaster area by the President. Second, federally recognized Tribal Organizations that are already receiving a grant under Title VI of the OAA and are located within the declared disaster area. Foreign entities are explicitly not eligible to apply for or receive an award under this announcement, and the opportunity is not broadly open to nonprofits or local providers unless they meet the specific SUA or Title VI Tribal grantee requirements.
The announcement strongly encourages coordination before an application is submitted. Eligible SUAs and Title VI Tribal grantees are expected to speak with ACL Regional staff before filing a formal request, including discussing the amount of funding they intend to request. The notice also recommends sending a draft narrative justification to the ACL Regional Office in advance, because doing so can speed up review and award processing. In addition, applicants are urged to coordinate with state and local emergency managers to identify other disaster funding sources that may be available, and to avoid duplication by understanding what can be covered through FEMA, state programs, local emergency funds, or other relief mechanisms before turning to OAA disaster assistance.
Applications must be submitted electronically through Grants.gov. Applicants can download the application package from Grants.gov, complete it offline, and then upload and submit it through the platform. The listed original closing date for this opportunity is 2025-09-02. ACL anticipates making about 7 awards, and the award ceiling is $600,000, indicating that individual awards may vary up to that maximum depending on the scale of need, the disaster impact, and the justification provided. The assistance is associated with CFDA (Assistance Listing) number 93.048 and falls under the broad activity category of Income Security and Social Services.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted, event-triggered funding mechanism meant to help established OAA aging network entities and Title VI Tribal programs respond to and recover from federally declared major disasters, with an emphasis on tight geographic eligibility, coordination with ACL Regional staff, and alignment with other emergency management resources.Apply for HHS 2025 ACL AOA DASG 0006
