National Pension Technical Assistance Resource Center

Through this funding opportunity, ACL plans to award one (1) cooperative agreement for a National Pension Assistance Resource Center to support ACL's Pension Counseling and Information Program grantees and other potential providers of pension assistance, such as State and Areas Agencies on Aging and legal services providers, by providing substantive legal training, technical assistance, programmatic coordination, and nationwide outreach, information and referral.
