Description: This document outlines specific sections in the ARPA that dedicate funds for functions carried out by the NWD System to increase the reach to older adults and individuals with disabilities and other populations. While a portion of these funds will be available through grants from ACL, additional funding opportunities will be awarded by other agencies. NWD Systems can reach out to these agencies within their state to forge partnerships and support the goals across funding streams. The NWD System can also encourage their local partners to apply for funding that is available.
