The Administration for Community Living (ACL) announced the availability of approximately $2 million to support statewide implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. Four cooperative agreements will be awarded to state units on aging (SUAs) to undertake a range of activities. Each project will be fully funded for a period of 24 months with one, 24-month budget of up to $490,000. Each grantee will be expected to focus on implementing at least three of the five goals of the Strategy, as determined by the state’s needs and priorities, including:

• Goal 1: Increasing awareness of, and outreach to, family caregivers
• Goal 2: Advancing partnerships and engagement with family caregivers
• Goal 3: Strengthening services and supports for family caregivers
• Goal 4: Ensuring financial and workplace security for family caregivers
• Goal 5: Expanding data and the use of research and evidence-based practices to support family caregivers

Each grantee will be required to work with their state’s developmental disabilities services agency and at least one other state agency (e.g., state Medicaid, public health, mental health, education, transportation, child welfare, labor, state universities, etc.) or tribe/tribal entity over the course of the project.
