AB  - The mission of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) is to maximize the 
      independence, well-being, and health of older adults, people with disabilities 
      across the lifespan, and their families and caregivers. In direct alignment with 
      this mission is ACL's support of evidence-based falls prevention programs in 
      communities throughout the United States. Since 2014, the Administration on Aging 
      (AoA), part of ACL, has invested nearly $14 million in entities such as state 
      agencies, nonprofits, and universities to expand access to proven community-based 
      falls prevention programs. The initiatives supported by ACL/AoA bring to bear two 
      primary goals-(1) to significantly increase the number of older adults and older 
      adults with disabilities at risk for falls who participate in evidence-based 
      community programs to reduce falls and falls risks; and (2) to implement 
      innovative funding arrangements, including contracts, partnerships, and 
      collaborations with one or more sustainability partners to support these programs 
      during and beyond the grant period. Support from ACL/AoA has significantly 
      increased the availability of evidence-based falls prevention programs in funded 
      communities, as well as enhanced the network's sustainable delivery 
      infrastructure to promote continued access to these critical programs beyond the 
      scope of grant funding. This article highlights the successful rollout of 
      ACL/AoA's falls prevention initiative.
