description: The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is part of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
  ACL works to maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older adults, people with disabilities across the lifespan,
  and their families and caregivers. The agency administers the Older Americans Act programs, supports disability services
  through centers for independent living, and maintains the AGing, Independence, and Disability (AGID) Program Data Portal
  providing publicly accessible datasets on aging and disability programs. ACL also operates the National Institute on Disability,
  Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research (NIDILRR).

  name: AGID Program Data Portal
  description: The AGing, Independence, and Disability (AGID) Program Data Portal provides publicly accessible data from programs
    funded under the Older Americans Act and related disability programs. Datasets include the American Community Survey Special
    Tabulation on Aging and Disability, National Survey of Older Americans Act Participants (NSOAAP), National Ombudsman Reporting
    System (NORS), National Adult Maltreatment Reporting System (NAMRS), Independent Living Services (ILS) and Centers for
    Independent Living (CIL) performance data, and I/DD (Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities) Longitudinal Data. Data
    files are available for download in CSV and Excel formats.

  baseURLNote: Undocumented. This is the Azure API Management gateway the AGID portal's own front end calls; the base URL
    and the twelve POST-only operation paths were read from the public bundle https://agid.acl.gov/assets/index-2c03a0f9.js
    and confirmed live on 2026-08-30 (POST /GetDataSets -> 200). ACL publishes no reference for it and no way to obtain the
    required Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key.

  name: Eldercare Locator Content API
  description: The Strapi 5 headless-CMS REST API behind eldercare.acl.gov, the national Eldercare Locator service ACL operates
    to connect older adults and caregivers to local aging and disability services. The eldercareglobal collection is readable
    anonymously and returns the standard Strapi 5 envelope. ACL publishes no reference for this API; the base URL was read
    from the public Next.js bundle eldercare.acl.gov serves and confirmed live on 2026-08-30 (GET /api/eldercareglobal ->
    200, application/json). Other Strapi collection names probed return 404, so the public role exposes a narrow allowlist
    rather than the whole content model. Read-only.
