Grant Opportunity
HHS-2020-ACL-AOA-LRSP-0432
ACL's Administration on Aging has announced a grant
opportunity for special projects authorized by the Lifespan Respite Care
Act of 2006. Lifespan Respite Care programs are coordinated systems of
accessible, community-based respite care services for family caregivers of
children and adults of all ages.
The special projects funded by this cooperative agreement will
complement the work of the Lifespan Respite Technical Assistance and
Resource Center. Projects will focus on strengthening:
- Respite workforce recruitment,
training, and retention
- State-based frameworks for
respite system planning and development
- Caregivers and family
natural support systems
Optionally, projects may also address
other areas of capacity building to improve state-based respite, as
identified by applicants and their partners.
