This question comes up frequently in discussions regarding MDTs. Grants and other funding opportunities are available, and as we hear about them, we'll make sure to let you know.
We recently learned about this grant:
The grant includes funding for up to 10 enhanced elder abuse MDTs (E-MDTs) at the rural, tribal, local or state levels, including both new and existing teams. Funding may be used for a variety of purposes described in the grant notice, including to pay an E-MDT coordinator to manage the team, to research and better understand victims' priorities and needs, to provide services, and to add necessary professionals to your team including forensic accountants to address financial exploitation and neuropsychologists to address cognition and capacity. The total funding available for each team is up to $375,000.
