Community Health Worker (CHW) Program Implementation

The Contract for Community Health Worker Program Implementation aims to deliver home and community-based dementia support services through trained Community Health Workers in underserved and rural areas. These services include outreach to individuals affected by dementia, education and training for caregivers, care coordination across providers and systems, and linkage to essential community resources. The program is designed to address gaps in access to dementia support by leveraging culturally competent, on-the-ground workers who can build trust and provide sustained assistance where traditional healthcare services are limited or unavailable. This subcontract, issued by the Administration for Community Living under the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is targeted at organizations capable of implementing scalable, community-driven models of dementia care. The solicitation was posted on July 2, 2026, with responses due by August 3, 2026, under the NAICS code 621999 for other miscellaneous ambulatory health care services. While specific geographic locations are not detailed, the emphasis is on reaching populations in areas with limited access to specialized dementia care. The program’s success will depend on the contractor’s ability to recruit, train, and sustain a network of Community Health Workers who can effectively engage families, navigate complex care systems, and improve outcomes for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.
