OAA Title VI Parts A/B — Tribal Nutrition and Supportive Services

Older Americans Act Title VI Parts A and B provide formula grants to approximately 280 tribal organizations serving American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian elders. Part A funds supportive services (homemaker, transportation, case management, adult day) and Part B funds nutrition services (home-delivered and congregate meals) for Native elders age 60 and older. These grants carry much of the caregiving-relief load for Native families — distinct from Title VI Part C which funds caregiver support specifically.

What it offers

OAA Title VI Parts A/B provide formula grants to eligible Tribal organizations for nutrition and supportive services for Native American, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian elders. ACL lists congregate and home-delivered meals, information and referral, transportation, personal care, chores, health promotion and disease prevention, and other supportive services. Formula grants are allocated based on the population age 60 and over in the service area; federally recognized Tribal organizations must represent at least 50 Native elders age 60 and over to be eligible for funding, and Tribes may decide the age at which a member is considered an elder for services. Use OlderIndians.ACL.gov to find Title VI program resources and directors; current grantee counts, funding amounts, and service menus should live in the resources layer.

Questions that decide eligibility

GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:

  1. 01

    Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (60–null)?

  2. 02

    Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?

  3. 03

    Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?

  4. 04

    Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.

    Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.

  5. 05

    What documents do you need from us to start an application?

  6. 06

    Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
