Opportunity Information: Apply for HHS 2023 ACL CIP NWCH 0036
The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (ACL) is offering a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Center of Excellence to Align Health and Social Care: Enhancing Community-Based Aging and Disability Organizations to Improve Access to Long-Term Services and Supports" (Funding Opportunity Number: HHS-2023-ACL-CIP-NWCH-0036; CFDA/Assistance Listing: 93.048). The core goal is to strengthen the connection between health care organizations and community-based aging and disability service systems by building and expanding Community Care Hubs (CCH). These hubs are meant to function as a central access and coordination backbone in a community, helping older adults and people with disabilities reach long-term services and supports (LTSS) and related social care in a more organized, reliable way.
ACL expects to fund roughly 10 grantees over a two-year project period to support the development and enhancement of CCHs. A key idea behind the program is that many community-based organizations (CBOs) can provide high-quality services but often cannot meet the scale, geographic reach, or volume that health sector partners increasingly want when they try to address social needs alongside medical care. As a result, CBOs are forming networks or participating in broader community-based systems, and the CCH model has emerged to coordinate those networks. At the center of each CCH is a community-based Lead Entity (LE), which is the organization positioned to organize participating CBOs, standardize processes, and act as the primary contracting and coordination point for outside partners.
The funding is intended to go directly to these Lead Entities, with an emphasis on supporting parts of the country that do not already have mature CCH infrastructure. The aim is to help LEs build "network maturity" so they can more effectively partner and contract with health care sector entities such as accountable care organizations, health plans, managed care organizations, hospitals, and health systems. In practical terms, the project focuses on building the operational capacity needed to work at health care speed and scale while maintaining person-centered, community-rooted service delivery.
Funded projects are expected to enhance the CCHs ability to provide key community access functions, including information and referral coordination, screening, care coordination, care transitions, eligibility and enrollment support, and person-centered planning. A major emphasis is on creating a single point of entry so individuals can access a menu of social service options without having to navigate multiple disconnected organizations. To guide capacity-building, participants will complete an Organizational Capacity Assessment, unless they have already completed one, to identify strengths and gaps in areas like contracting and payment coordination, quality assurance, information technology systems and data integration, and workforce development. The overall intent is to move CCHs toward a more standardized, scalable operating model that still reflects local community needs.
In addition to funding CCH Lead Entities, the notice indicates that ACL will identify up to five regional Centers for Excellence. These Centers for Excellence are designed to provide technical assistance and practical support, including mentoring and help facilitating partnerships between health payers and Lead Entities. This component is meant to speed learning across regions, reduce duplication of effort, and help newer or less-developed networks adopt proven approaches for contracting, data sharing, quality management, and operational performance.
The eligible applicant pool is broad and includes various levels of government (state, county, city/township, special districts), tribal governments and tribal organizations, public housing authorities, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding higher education institutions where relevant). The opportunity was posted April 25, 2023, with an original application deadline of June 26, 2023, and applications were required to be submitted electronically by 11:59 p.m. ET on the due date. The award ceiling listed is $12,700,000, and the notice describes the program as supporting multiple grantees while also establishing a small number of regional Centers for Excellence to drive technical assistance and cross-sector alignment.Apply for HHS 2023 ACL CIP NWCH 0036
