This funding opportunity provides financial support to organizations that improve legal assistance for older adults facing economic and social challenges, particularly in underserved communities.

Description

Through this funding opportunity ACL intends to fund grants that will enhance and strengthen elder rights and elder justice for older adults with economic and social need. Cooperative agreements awarded under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO), the Legal Assistance Enhancement Program (LAEP), will identify and execute enhancements and innovations that improve the quality, effectiveness, accessibility, and availability of legal assistance offered to older adults in key areas of significant impact, as specifically delineated in the NOFO. Projects under the LAEP NOFO are required to adhere to the fundamental principles of the Administration for Community Living (ACL), particularly as they apply to addressing inequities and increasing access to legal assistance in underserved communities. Enhancements made through this funding opportunity will support quantifiable and sustainable improvements to the delivery of a full range of legal assistance to older adults, from legal advice to full representation in the areas identified in the forthcoming NOFO.
