Description
This funding opportunity from the Administration for Community Living (ACL) aims to advance state-level implementation of the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. The program supports states in developing, testing, and scaling sustainable models that address at least three of the five key goals outlined in the Strategy, such as increasing caregiver awareness, strengthening supports, and advancing partnerships. Projects must foster cross-agency collaboration, particularly between State Units on Aging, state developmental disabilities agencies, and at least one other state agency, to address the needs of family caregivers and implement recommended actions from the Strategy. A planning period of up to six months is allowed, followed by implementation and a required sustainability plan to ensure continued impact after federal funding ends.
