Two
New Lifespan Respite Care Program Funding Opportunities
ACL has opened two new funding
opportunities under the Lifespan Respite Care Program. Lifespan
respite care programs are coordinated state systems of
accessible, community-based respite care services for
family caregivers of people of all ages with special needs.
Such programs reduce duplication of effort and assist in
the development of respite care infrastructure at the
state and local levels.
These funding opportunities are not intended
to fund individual projects at a particular site or
location.
State
Program Enhancement Grants
Applicants to this funding opportunity will
propose approaches to build on advancements made under
previous Lifespan Respite Care Program grants. They
will focus on enhancing and strengthening the
components of their lifespan respite care system to improve
equitable access, consistency, quality, and sustainability.
They will also focus on reducing duplication in
respite service delivery.
Additionally, applicants will be expected to explain how
they will:
- Collaborate and build
partnerships across the state.
- Expand options for volunteers.
- Ensure adequate respite provider
training is offered.
- Identify gaps in current services
and conduct outreach to reduce those gaps.
- Continue or increase efforts
to target underserved populations across the
lifespan.

the care recipient.

- Develop or expand new and emergency
respite services.
