Description:
The AoA/CMS Resource Center grants program reflects
and supports the values of individual choice, independence,
self-determination and community living inherent in President Bush's New
Freedom Initiative. The grants awarded under this program will be another
tool the Federal government is making available to help states tear down
barriers to community living and redirect their systems of support to be
more consumer-driven and more supportive of home and community-based service
options. Building a sustainable infrastructure to support streamlined
access to community based services and long-term care reform constitute
over-arching goals of this initiative. The essence of the ADRC program is
not about offering new services or adding
staff, but re-aligning infrastructure and orienting staff.
