Summary

The Assistant Secretary may run a competitive demo program to give grants to tribal organizations and groups serving Native Hawaiians with applications approved under parts A and B. Grants pay the Federal share so these groups can expand in-home and community services that help older people stay healthy, live independently, and avoid long-term care. Supportive services can include the activities listed in section 3030d(a). The Assistant Secretary must give priority to applicants using funds for in-home help, transportation, information and referral, case management, health and wellness programs, legal services, family caregiver support, and other services that directly support older people’s independence. This does not stop services under parts A or B.
