ACL Announces 2026 Innovations in Nutrition Awards: Two Recipients to Share About $910,265, Focused on Older Adults with Behavioral Health Conditions
The Administration for Community Living (ACL), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has announced the recipients of its 2026 Innovations in Nutrition Programs and Services (INNU) cooperative agreements. The two selected grant recipients will receive combined funding of approximately $910,265, ACL said, to test and document innovative, scalable approaches to enhance the quality, effectiveness and outcomes of senior nutrition programs.
The recipients are the Humboldt Senior Resource Center, in Eureka, Humboldt County, California, and Healthcentric Advisors, Inc. ACL said this year's projects focus on increasing access to nutrition intervention services for older adults with behavioral health conditions, including those experiencing homelessness.
The Senior Nutrition Program, funded under Title III-C of the Older Americans Act, delivers a nutrition intervention — nutritious meals, nutrition education and opportunities for social connection — to millions of older adults each year, according to ACL. The INNU awards were made under funding notice HHS-2025-ACL-AOA-INNU-0036, "Advancing Strategies to Support Older Adults with Behavioral Health Conditions in the Senior Nutrition Program Setting," posted July 21, 2025.
ACL said documentation from the two projects will be used to identify effective approaches and support their wider use in senior nutrition programs. Questions about the INNU grants may be directed to the program contact listed in ACL's announcement.
