OAA Title VI Parts A/B — Tribal Nutrition and Supportive Services

Older Americans Act Title VI Parts A and B provide formula grants to approximately 280 tribal organizations serving American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian elders. Part A funds supportive services (homemaker, transportation, case management, adult day) and Part B funds nutrition services (home-delivered and congregate meals) for Native elders age 60 and older. These grants carry much of the caregiving-relief load for Native families — distinct from Title VI Part C which funds caregiver support specifically.

Part A — Supportive Services: homemaker services, transportation, case management, information and referral, legal assistance, and other supportive services for Native elders 60+ in Tribal grantee service areas. Part B — Nutrition Services: congregate meals at Tribal senior centers and home-delivered meals for homebound Native elders; similar to Meals on Wheels in scope and function. Both parts are delivered through ~280 federally recognized tribes and Native Hawaiian organizations. For family caregivers of Native elders: these grants are the primary funding source for the same kinds of homemaker, transportation, and meal services that OAA III-B/III-C delivers in non-Tribal contexts — they carry a disproportionate share of the caregiving support load in Tribal communities. Contact the tribal aging program or ITO (Indian Tribal Organization) serving your community; directory at olderindians.acl.gov.
