Description
This opportunity funds the establishment and operation of a National Technical Assistance Center (NTAC) on Kinship and Grandfamilies. The NTAC aims to enhance the capacity and effectiveness of the National Aging Services Network to support the health and well-being of grandfamilies and kinship families—including caregivers, children, and parents—across the United States. The Center will catalyze the implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers by scaling replicable, evidence-informed models and providing technical assistance, resources, training, and peer learning for organizations serving kinship and grandfamilies. Activities must be national in scope, with a focus on measurable improvements in access to support, quality of life, and organizational capacity.
