Federal Grant Award Summary

The New Mexico Aging and Long Term Service Department received a $1,721,675 formula grant award from the Administration on Aging (also known as the Administration for Community Living) under the National Family Caregiver Support, Title III, Part E program (CFDA 93.052). The award, dated October 1, 2025, extends through September 30, 2027, and funds a comprehensive system of support services designed to assist family caregivers and older relative caregivers throughout New Mexico.

Under this award, the state agency delivers multifaceted services including information dissemination about available caregiver resources, assistance with service access, individual counseling, caregiver training, respite care provision, and supplemental services that complement family-provided care. These services address the needs of diverse populations, including those supporting frail older adults, grandparents or older relatives serving as child caregivers, kinship caregivers, and family members of individuals with early-onset dementia and developmental disabilities. The state agency, as the prime recipient, distributes funds to designated sub-state level organizations such as area agencies on aging for community-level implementation. As a formula grant recipient expending over $750,000 in federal awards annually, the department is subject to federal audit requirements and must maintain financial records for three to five years depending on asset type.
