Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI)
ACL grant program funding states, communities, and tribal entities to develop and expand dementia-capable home and community-based service systems. At least 50% of each grant provides direct services to people living with dementia and their family caregivers, including caregiver training, respite, counseling, and support groups.
What it offers
Services funded through ADPI grants include: caregiver training and education, respite care, counseling and support groups, care coordination, assistive technology, home modifications, legal services, and early-stage memory loss programs. Nearly $12.3 million awarded in 2024 across 13 grantees for 3-year project periods. Services vary by local grantee.
