Senior and Disabilities Community Based Grants
Grants for agency partners in Alaska
Who we are
The Division of Senior and Disabilities Services Grants Unit provides funding, in the form of grants, to agencies across Alaska. These agencies provide programs and services that help seniors (Alaskans ages 60 and older) and people with disabilities within their communities.
Our grant partners deliver essential services and programs for:
- People with developmental disabilities (DD)
- Caregivers of seniors and/or people with disabilities
- People with Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD)
- Seniors
- People who need assistance at home due to disability or health conditions
- People who have experienced a brain injury
- People who do not qualify for, are waiting for, or need only minimal support from Home and Community-Based Services under the Medicaid Waiver program
What we do
Our grant partners help Alaskans by providing services that promote independence and support for seniors, people with disabilities and their families.
These programs include:
- Adult Day Services and Senior In-Home Services
- Nutrition, Transportation, and Support Services
- Health Promotion and Disease Prevention
- Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) Education and Support
- National Family Caregiver Support Program
- Developmental Disabilities Resource Connection (DDRC) Program
We also connect people with resources like Aging and Disabilities Resource Centers, Centers for Independent Living, and the Medicare Information Office. Programs support grandparents raising grandchildren, those waiting for Medicaid services, and people needing minimal assistance to stay at home.
