About this opportunity

The purpose of the Program is to enhance the safety of elder and dependent adult victims/survivors of crime by providing direct services to victims/survivors and bridging the gap between elder justice service providers (including Adult Protective Services, Long-Term Care Ombudsman programs, providers of legal assistance, etc.) and victim/survivor service providers. This Program will provide support for communities to improve their ability to identify the needs of victims/survivors of elder and dependent adult abuse, including victims/survivors with disabilities, and to improve the delivery of services. This will be accomplished by:• Funding an Elder Abuse Victim Specialist solely dedicated to serving elder and dependent adult victims/survivors.• Providing and coordinating direct services for elder and dependent adult victims/survivors.• Expanding the communities’ capacity to serve elder and dependent adult victims/survivors.• Ensuring that elder and dependent adult victims/survivors have access to the criminal justice system.• Implementing an outreach awareness program for victims/survivors and mandated reporters of elder and dependent adult abuse and others who encounter these victims/survivors.
