ACL’s new Legal Assistance Enhancement Program (LAEP) will support legal assistance enhancements and innovations in four key areas:
- Outreach efforts to effectively educate clients and the aging network about legal assistance;
- Intake strategies that are integrated with the broader aging network;
- Essential partnerships within and outside the aging network that serve communities of older adults; and
- Delivery of full-range legal assistance, from legal advice through representation.
ACL invites applications that seek to achieve quantifiable and sustainable enhancements that build upon existing programmatic work to increase the effectiveness of legal assistance for older Americans with social or economic need. Eligible Applicants include domestic public or private non-profit entities including state and local governments, Indian tribal governments and organizations (American Indian/Alaskan Native/Native American), faith-based organizations, community-based organizations, hospitals, and institutions of higher education.
Available funding for this opportunity ranges from a minimum of $100,000 to a maximum of $250,000 per grant per year, for up to three years depending on the availability of funding.
Applications are due by April 29, 2019.
