If this supplement is not provided, the project would be less able to address the significant unmet health and social support needs of additional Holocaust survivors. Similarly, the project would be unable to expand its current technical assistance and training efforts in PCTI concepts and approaches, let alone reach beyond traditional providers of services to this population to train more ‘‘mainstream’’ providers of aging services.

    The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announces the intent 
to award a single-source supplement to the current cooperative 
agreement held by the Jewish Federations of North America for the 
project Advancing Person-Centered, Trauma-Informed Supportive Services 
for Holocaust Survivors. The purpose of this project is to, (1) advance 
the development and
