The purpose of this NOFO is to enhance state systems and capacities to deliver respite care and related services to family caregivers of children and adults across all age groups, disabilities, and chronic conditions. There are two applications options contained in this NOFO. Option A is for states that have never had a Lifespan Respite Care grant or for states seeking to restart or rebuild core respite infrastructure and statewide program activities. Option B is for states that have previously received Lifespan Respite Care funding and are seeking to expand, enhance, and sustain existing respite program activities. Programs should identify and address gaps in respite availability, improve access for unserved and underserved populations, reduce duplication across systems, and ensure services remain responsive to the individualized needs of family caregivers across the lifespan. 

Eligibility: State units on aging or state agencies that administer the Medicaid program

Closing date: Wednesday, July 22, at 11:59 p.m.
