This award funds multifaceted systems of support services designed to assist family caregivers and older relative caregivers throughout Oklahoma. The grant supports the delivery of information dissemination about available caregiver resources, assistance to caregivers in accessing services, individual counseling, caregiver training, respite care to provide temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities, and supplemental services to complement informal family caregiving.

As the state unit on aging, the Oklahoma Department of Human Services administers these formula grant funds through an approved state plan and intrastate funding formula, distributing resources to designated sub-state level organizations such as area agencies on aging and local service providers for community-level implementation. The program operates under a statutory formula distribution model, requiring submission of state plans for two- to four-year periods with annual revisions, and is subject to standard federal audit requirements and financial recordkeeping provisions under 45 CFR Part 75 and 2 CFR 200.
