Description:

The California Department of Aging (CDA) is pleased to release a Request for Applications (RFA) for its Local Aging & Disability Action Planning (LADAP) Grant Program. CDA anticipates awarding grants to up to 36 communities throughout the state to support local communities in planning and creating their own age- and disability-friendly action plans. The local plans developed under this grant program aim to improve a community’s livability and address the current, emerging, and future needs of California’s older adults, people with disabilities, and professional and family caregivers through cross-sector collaboration and transformational systems change. The grant program goals align with California’s Master Plan for Aging (MPA) and our state’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. The grant program runs through March 31, 2025.
