National Legal Resource Center
Through this program announcement, the Administration on Aging (AoA) plans to award five (5) cooperative
agreements to organizations that will collaborate and collectively function as one National
Legal Resource Center (NLRC).
AoA is soliciting applications under this program announcement to create a National
Legal Resource Center (NLRC) that will serve the function of a national legal assistance
support system as described under Title IV, Section 420, of the OAA. The cooperative
agreements offered under this announcement will fund organizations that will collaborate
as part of the NLRC to generate, disseminate, and apply knowledge and expertise that can
improve the quality, efficiency, and effectiveness of state and local efforts promoting and
providing legal assistance and elder rights protections. To this end, the NLRC will provide
access to case consultation, training, technical assistance, and other informational
resources to states, area agencies on aging, legal providers, ADRCs, and other
organizations that provide legal assistance, elder rights protections, or other supportive
services directly to older persons over the age of 60.
