Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority Updates
Following extensive stakeholder engagement and programmatic reviews, staff at the Trust have been actively developing a draft FY27 budget. Each year, the board reviews and approves a budget that represents Trust spending and recommendations to support an integrated, comprehensive mental health program in Alaska. You can read more about the budget development process, including supporting materials, on the FY27 Budget Development Webpage.
The next deadline for Trust partnership grant applications is August 15th!
In 2024, how many mobile crisis team responses took place? How many calls were answered by the Careline? You can find these metrics and more in the Trust's recently released Crisis Now 2024 annual Implementation Report, available on the behavioral health crisis response webpage.
Did you know that twice a month, the Trust posts a new Grant Opportunity Report on the Grant Proposal Development Resources webpage? In addition to serving as a grant-maker themselves, the Trust also supports beneficiary-serving agencies in pursuing other grant funding.
Grant Writing Training for Partners on Sept. 9 -10th, free training opportunity. AMHTA is offering grant writing training for Trust beneficiary-serving organizations through the proposal development support program.

To learn more and to register, visit the above Grant Proposal Development Resources page.
Trust Microenterprise Grant Application Deadline: September 10th. The Trust funds the micro-enterprise grant program that supports self-employment opportunities for beneficiaries.

DPA Launches Pilot Program: DPA-in-a-Box
The Division of Public Assistance (DPA) has launched a new pilot program, DPA in-a-Box, designed to improve access to public assistance services in some of Alaska’s more rural communities. Through this initiative, small teams of eligibility technicians and outreach staff travel to areas without a local DPA office, providing in-person support for residents and service providers. The first visit took place June 9-12 in partnership with Maniilaq Health Center in Kotzebue. DPA in-a-Box aims to streamline the application and documentation process, troubleshoot barriers to services, and ensure residents can access critical programs like Medicaid, SNAP, and other public assistance benefits. The Department has additional DPA in-a-Box visits planned for the next fiscal year, with scheduling based on community needs and coordination. Communities interested in hosting a future visit can reach out to Erik Ross at erik.ross@alaska.gov for more information.
Watch this video introducing the program.

Alaska Dementia Action Collaborative Updates
The July ADAC quarterly meeting included updates from the Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority, Senior and Disabilities Services, and the Dementia Education and Prevention Program, which received $405,000 in state funding (though rural outreach was vetoed). A $500,000 CDC BOLD continuation grant application is still pending.
Workgroups reported key progress: the care partners group is exploring a Village to Village volunteer model in Anchorage; core competencies for dementia care partners were approved; and the data group is working with ARA to develop a replicable statewide ADRD prevalence estimate. Communications is focused on prevention messaging, and a new ADAC brochure is under review.
A new online dementia education course is being offered through the University of Alaska Southeast this fall. Understanding Dementia (HS 193, CRN 76518) runs from August 25 to December 13 and covers diagnosis, treatment, communication strategies, and ethical care. No prerequisites required. $279 cost.
Planning is also underway for a 2026 community toolkit modeled after Washington State. Evaluation is ongoing for the member survey and the statewide ABCD survey to guide future work.
The next ADAC quarterly meeting will be held in person on October 10 at the BP Energy Center in Anchorage, with sessions on Alaska’s 10-Year Roadmap, a Fairbanks Village to Village pilot, and hearing loss as a dementia risk factor.

Disability Law Center Online Intake Process
As of July 1, the Disability Law Center of Alaska has moved its process to request assistance completely online. Requests for assistance from DLC can be made through the online request for assistance form found at https://www.dlcak.org/intake/online-intake-form/. DLC will no longer take general requests for assistance by email or phone and will instead be directing people to the online form. However, DLC is setting up phone messaging (907-565-1002) so that any individual who needs a reasonable accommodation based on their specific disability can still contact them via phone or e-mail to arrange for the needed accommodation. The goal is to use staff time for direct advocacy efforts.
Which disability issues are most important to you? DLC want to hear from you! Please take their survey by 8pm on August 22nd to help them set 2026 priorities. The link to the survey is: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5KV3XFR

Alzheimer’s Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity for Tribal Communities - Informational Call August 6
The goal of this Alzheimer’s Disease Programs Initiative (ADPI) Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is to expand capacity to deliver dementia-capable home and community-based services (HCBS) in Indian Country. The Dementia Capability in Indian Country program is intended to support federally recognized tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes in these activities. The dementia-capable systems resulting from activities under this program are expected to provide high quality, strengths-based, person-centered services and supports that help people living with dementia and their caregivers remain independent and safe in their communities.
There are two application options in this single NOFO:
Option A: Grants to Tribes and Tribal Entities that are NEW to the ADPI program, and
Option B: Grants to Tribes and Tribal that have previously received ADPI grants and intend to expand on previously funded work.
Both Option A or Option B grants may only be used to support new dementia specific training, supports and services. If applicants propose to expand an existing training, support or service, a clear description must be included in the application narrative.
Applicants for the Dementia in Indian Country program are those that are presently responsible for providing home and community services in tribal communities (i.e. tribes, tribal organizations and/or consortiums representing federally recognized tribes).
ACL will host an informational conference call in relation to this NOFO on Wednesday, August 6, 2025 at 12pm AKDT; the call will be recorded and made available to the public immediately following the call. The dial-in information: Toll Free Number: 888-469-1602 and Passcode: 9776468. A recording will be available soon after the call concludes. Toll Free Instant Replay Number: 866-378-0632.

Update from the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC) 2025
President & CEO of the Alzheimer's Association shared this week an important update from the global AAIC conference regarding the POINTER study.
"U.S. POINTER was a rigorous, two-year, randomized controlled clinical trial that tested two lifestyle interventions in a large, diverse population of older adults at risk for cognitive decline and dementia. Participants were randomly assigned to either a self-guided or structured lifestyle program. Both interventions focused on increasing physical activity, improving nutrition, cognitive and social challenge and health monitoring, but differed in the level of structure, accountability, and support provided.
Remarkably, cognitive function improved over the two years for both intervention groups. However, the group that received more structured support showed the greatest benefit — protecting cognition from normal age-related decline for nearly two years. This extra benefit was observed regardless of sex, ethnicity, genetic risk or cardiometabolic health.
This means that, relative to the self-guided group, participants in the structured group performed at a level comparable to adults 1 to 2 years younger in age — an effect that likely increases resilience against cognitive decline."
AARP Backs Legislation to Protect Older Investors
Older adults lose billions every year to financial exploitation, which often eats into retirement savings and other funds built up over decades of work. One in 10 older adults in the U.S. have experienced illegal or improper use of their funds, property or assets, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
That’s why AARP is supporting the Senior Security Act of 2025, a bipartisan bill introduced earlier this year that would help combat increasingly sophisticated financial fraud and scams targeting older adults.
