Formula and Matching Requirements: Although the agency maintains discretion in determining when and how many awards will be made under Title VI, a population based formula application process will be used to actually award funds. The formula is based on the number of elders a tribal organization represents who are 60 years of age or older. The minimum number is 50 elderly Indians or Native Hawaiians. At the current time, fund formula categories are: population 50-100: Band 1; population 101-200: Band 2; population 201-300: Band 3; population 301- 400: Band 4; population 401-500: Band 5; population 501-1500: Band 6: population 1,500+ Bank 7. There is no matching required.
Length and Time Phasing of Assistance: Funds for grants are awarded for no less than a 12-month period.
Uses and Use Restrictions: Funds are available through grants to eligible Indian tribal organizations for services comparable to those provided under Title III. Services must include nutrition services and information and referral, and may include transportation and other services authorized under Title III. Funds may also be used for the alteration, lease or renovation of a facility to be used as a multipurpose Indian senior center and for staffing the center. Indian Tribes receive funds based on a formula that considers the number of eligible elder Indians represented by the tribal organizations with population ranges from 50-100; 101-200; 201-300; 301-400; 401-500; and 501 to 1,500 and 1,501 over. Grants are available to a private or nonprofit organization having the capacity to provide services to older Native Hawaiians.
