Federal Grant Award Summary

The Oregon Department of Human Services received a $862,678 Formula Grant award from the Administration on Aging (AOA) effective October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027, under the National Family Caregiver Support Program, Title III, Part E (CFDA 93.052). This program provides multifaceted systems of support services designed to assist family caregivers and older relative caregivers. Services delivered include information dissemination regarding available caregiver resources, assistance in accessing support services, individual counseling, caregiver training, respite care to temporarily relieve caregiving responsibilities, and supplemental services to complement family-provided care.

As the state unit on aging, ODHS distributes formula grant funds through an approved State plan to designated sub-state level organizations, including Area Agencies on Aging and local service providers. A sub-award was issued to the County of Clackamas on December 10, 2025, to support Older Americans Act services delivery at the local level. Formula grants under this program are statutory entitlements distributed to all states and territories based on a congressionally established formula, with participating states required to submit multi-year state plans with annual revisions and comply with applicable federal audit and financial management requirements.
