The Administration for Community Living was created around the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and with the ability to participate fully in their communities.
By funding services and supports provided primarily by networks of community-based organizations, and with investments in research, education, and innovation, ACL helps make this principle a reality for millions of Americans.
There are many programs that are funded by the Federal government to assist the aging adult. Most funding is sent to various states and state agencies through the Administration for Community Living. This is the one of the main arteries of funding and services. Please click the link below to to access more policy information from then Administration for Community Living.
