ACL has released a NOFO to expand opportunities for respite relief in support of unpaid family caregivers of people with a probable diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease or related dementia (ADRD). 

The primary goal of this NOFO is to reduce caregiver burden and delay institutionalization of people with a probable diagnosis of ADRD through the availability and delivery of dementia-specific respite services. Through this grant opportunity, states will partner with Area Agencies on Aging to coordinate and provide respite services for caregivers with a focus on dementia-specific respite services comparable to existing services provided under the Older Americans Act Title III-E. 

Eligible applicants include State Units on Aging.

Applications for this NOFO are due on Monday, August 3, at 11:59 p.m.
