The Aging & Adult Services Agency, under the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, has issued a request for proposal open to Michigan’s aging network and its partners to help combat crimes against older adults.
Funding is available to applicants under AASA’s Prevent Elder and Vulnerable Adult Abuse, Exploitation, Neglect Today (PREVNT) initiative.
Grants from $25,000 and up to $1 million are available for organizations to provide AASA with a strategic plan or project to meet the initiative’s goals.
The purpose of this grant is to support elder abuse prevention and detection efforts; raise awareness through education; identify and replicate best practices; and provide trainings in the areas of elder abuse prevention laws, reporting and screening.
Grant applications must be submitted electronically through the MI E-Grants program.
Applications will be accepted through Aug. 17 at 3 p.m.
The PREVNT initiative project period is Oct. 1, 2017–Sept. 30, 2018.
For additional information or to apply, visit the MI E-Grants website (http://egrams-mi.com/dch) and click the “About EGrAMS” link on the left panel to access the “Competitive Application Instructions” training manual.
The state estimates that as many as 90,000 vulnerable adults in Michigan are victims of crimes every year, with many of these crimes going unreported.
