During the past 30 years, systems for people with disabilities and older adults with long-term service and support needs have generally shifted to embrace person-centered principles, premised on the belief that people should have the authority to define and pursue their own vision of a good life. Yet, the degree to which these systems have fully adopted person-centered practices varies, and many continue to grapple with how to effectively implement them.

The goal of NCAPPS is to promote systems change that makes person-centered principles not just an aspiration, but a reality in the lives of people who require services and supports across the lifespan. NCAPPS will assist states, tribes, and territories to transform their long-term care service and support systems to implement U.S. Department of Health and Human Services policy on person-centered thinking, planning, and practices. It will support a range of person-centered thinking, planning, and practices, regardless of funding source. Activities will include providing technical assistance to states, tribes, and territories; establishing communities of practice to promote best practices; hosting educational webinars; and creating a national clearinghouse of resources to support person-centered practice.

NCAPPS is funded by the Administration for Community Living and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, and administered by the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI). Engagement of people with lived experience will be at the heart of all NCAPPS activities. A Person-Centered Advisory and Leadership Group composed of national experts with lived experience receiving long-term services and supports will oversee and contribute to all aspects of NCAPPS. HSRI will be partnering with national organizations to ensure the work is relevant and effective, including:

  *   National Association of State Head Injury Administrators (NASHIA)
  *   National Association of States United for Aging and Disabilities (NASUAD)
  *   National Association of State Directors of Developmental Disability Services (NASDDDS)
  *   National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors (NASMHPD)
  *   National Association of County Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities Directors (NACBHDD)
  *   National Association of Medicaid Directors (NAMD)

Technical assistance applications are available now.

States, tribes, and territories can apply for technical assistance through an application available online<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZD0mbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTkwMTA3Ljk5NzYwMTIxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE5MDEwNy45OTc2MDEyMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3MDc1ODYzJmVtYWlsaWQ9UlRST1VUTUFOQE5BQ0RELk9SRyZ1c2VyaWQ9UlRST1VUTUFOQE5BQ0RELk9SRyZ0YXJnZXRpZD0mZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&103&&&https://acl.gov/sites/default/files/news%202019-01/NCAPPS_TechnicalAssistanceApplication_0119_0.pdf>.
