The Oasis Institute has received a five-year cooperative agreement from the U.S. Administration for Community Living/Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA) to implement the National Volunteer Care Corps. This program, now called Community Care Corps, is administered by Oasis in cooperation with Caregiver Action Network and USAging. Altarum, a nonprofit research and consulting organization, will also be an integral part of consulting and advising the Administrators and the program.

Through an independent review committee and competitive grant-making process, the Administrators will distribute these funds to foster innovative local models to provide volunteer non-medical assistance to older adults, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers; and to evaluate the effectiveness of those models in different communities nationally.
