Modernizing Senior Centers Resource Center

The Administration for Community Living is seeking to fund a cooperative agreement to sustain the Modernizing Senior Centers Resource Center, a initiative established in 2021 to strengthen senior centers as vital components of the Aging Network. The Resource Center will provide targeted technical assistance and training to senior centers nationwide, equipping them with the knowledge and tools to deliver robust, scalable programs that promote active, healthy, and independent living for older adults. It will also function as a national clearinghouse, identifying, documenting, and disseminating innovative practices and successful strategies that can be replicated at the local level to meet evolving community needs. This effort underscores ACL’s commitment to supporting senior centers as primary hubs for comprehensive services and community engagement. The selected recipient will be responsible for maintaining and expanding the Resource Center’s operations, ensuring ongoing access to up-to-date resources, best practices, and professional development opportunities. The initiative aims to enhance the capacity of senior centers to adapt to demographic shifts and emerging challenges facing older adults, reinforcing their role as essential anchors in aging-in-place ecosystems.
