ACL’s Administration on Aging is awarding a new cooperative agreement to ADvancing States to support the National I&R Support Center. The National I&R Support Center advances ACL’s strategic priority of connecting people to services by helping older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, and families connect with information, services, and supports.

The center will advance ACL’s caregiving strategic priority by increasing services available to grandfamilies and kinship families. Its work will support the health and well-being of caregivers, children, and parents and help implement the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers by scaling replicable models that support grandfamilies and kinship families in their caregiving roles.

The center will provide training, technical assistance, and resources to State Lifespan Respite Care Program grantees, their partners, caregivers, and the broader respite care network.
