Modernizing Senior Centers Resource Center

ACL recognizes senior centers as valued partners in the Aging Network that support community living by keeping older adults active, informed, and healthy. Many senior centers serve as important focal points for the delivery of comprehensive services. In 2021, to better ensure that senior centers have the tools and resources necessary to develop and implement programs that meet the current and future needs of the Nation’s older adults, ACL established a Modernizing Senior Centers Resource Center.ACL is seeking applications to fund one cooperative agreement that will continue the operation of the Modernizing Senior Centers Resource Center to provide technical assistance and training to senior centers as well as serve as a clearinghouse for innovative programs and strategies that can be successfully replicated at the local level.
