SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The purpose of this program was to establish
a new grant program that will test models of programming designed to
place volunteers in communities to assist caregivers, older adults, and
persons with disabilities in maintaining independence by providing non-
medical care. The overall goals of the program are to:
<bullet> Add to the nation's capacity to support volunteer programs
that provide non-medical care to assist caregivers, older adults, and/
or persons with disabilities; and
[[Page 44808]]
<bullet> Advancing innovative models that support local volunteer
programs that provide non-medical care to assist caregivers, older
adults, and/or persons with disabilities.
Since inception of the National Volunteer Care Corps project, the
Oasis Institute has supported 75 local projects around the country
providing services to over 22,000 people. Several innovative models
have emerged since the establishment of the program. ACL is interested
in concentrating attention on a special volunteer model that is focused
around building a network of screened and trained volunteer chaperones
to accompany older adults and adults with disabilities in need to and
from non[hyphen]emergency medical appointments and outpatient
procedures. The administrative supplement for FY 2023 will be in the
amount of $1,337,500 and will provide sufficient resources to enable
the grantee to establish a grant category that will fund efforts that
target the volunteer chaperone volunteer model.
