Solicitation Profile
The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA) seeks applications from counties, as defined under Section 3 of Article 1 of the County Law, to systematically support Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s priority of promoting policies and programs that bolster New York State’s position as the first age-friendly state in the nation. The New York State Department of Health and the New York State Department of State, as part of the Health Across All Policies/Age Friendly New York (HAAP/AFNY) Steering Committee, support the issuance of this RFA to further age-friendly efforts underway at the state level.

The Age-Friendly Planning Grant Program will build upon the State’s successes and offer funding within each Regional Economic Development Council (REDC) Region of $800,000 total to fund age-friendly planning and activities as well as $200,000 total to support Age Friendly Centers of Excellence.
