Here is today’s Monday Mailer for you:

Wisconsin ADRC and Tribal Agency Partnerships

Wisconsin has established strong, collaborative partnerships between its Aging and Disability Resource Centers (ADRCs) and 11 Tribal partner agencies. These collaborations are designed to expand culturally responsive access to services for older adults and individuals with disabilities. By working closely with Tribal Aging and Disability Resource Specialists (ADRSs), ADRCs strive to provide unbiased options counseling, outreach, and assistance that reflect community priorities and cultural context. Read more bout Wisconsin’s ADRC and Tribal agency partnerships here.

California Report on the “Overlooked Middle”

California released a report on “Advancing Solutions for the Overlooked Middle: A Concept for Accessing Home and Community-Based Care in Medicare.” As the population ages, California aims to support older adults and people with disabilities to remain safely at home and connected to their communities. Californians in the "Overlooked Middle" lack access to affordable, accessible home and community-based services (HCBS). The Overlooked Middle population includes Medicare beneficiaries who are at an increased risk of:

• Hospitalization
• Institutionalization
• Financial strain
• Caregiver burnout due to a lack of support options

The California Department of Aging partnered with ATI Advisory and Milliman to explore whether a Medicare-based model could deliver targeted HCBS to the Overlooked Middle, while improving outcomes and reducing and/or not increasing Medicare costs over time. The resulting Medicare Advancing Home and Community Care (MAHCC) model demonstrates the feasibility of designing a targeted, community-based Medicare intervention that can support individuals’ functional needs in a cost-effective way. Read the report here.

Jewish Federations Request for Proposals

Jewish Federations’ Center on Aging, Trauma, and Holocaust Survivor Care seeks applications from organizations across the United States to develop innovative, person-centered, trauma-informed (PCTI) services for Holocaust survivors, older adults with a history of trauma, and/or their family caregivers. The PCTI approach is a holistic model of care that promotes the health and well-being of individuals by accounting for the role of trauma across the life course, resisting retraumatization, and promoting the strength, agency, and dignity of people receiving care. The Request for Proposals and Program Guidelines, as well as the corresponding application materials, can be found here. The intent to apply form is due on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, at 11:59PM ET. For more information, contact Aging@JewishFederations.org.
