Project Description:
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) will receive $150 million to increase the public health workforce's disability and aging expertise and strengthen the collaboration with public health systems to support the health and safety of people with disabilities and older adults who are disproportionately affected during emergencies and disasters, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The funding will directly support wages and benefits for public health professionals within the disability and aging networks. These professionals provide a wide range of public health services and supports, including provision of culturally affirmative and linguistically accessible information, access assistance for vaccines and boosters, transition and diversion from high-risk congregate settings to community living, provision and connections to health and wellness programs, and activities that address social isolation and social determinants of health.
