This federal Formula Grant award of $4,783,270.00 from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (CFDA 93.052 National Family Caregiver Support, Title III, Part E) provides comprehensive support services for family caregivers and older relative caregivers in Colorado. The award period runs from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2026. The services to be delivered include information dissemination, counseling, training, respite care, and supplemental services to help caregivers maintain the health and well-being of care recipients while addressing their personal and professional needs, with a particular focus on supporting those caring for individuals with early-onset dementia and adults with disabilities. The Colorado Department of Human Services, a state-level government agency, is the primary awardee and will likely sub-award portions of the grant to local Area Agencies on Aging, non-profit organizations, and community partners to implement the caregiver support services at the local level.
