联邦拨300万美元助六州支持家庭照护者：加州老龄事务厅入选第三轮
美国卫生与公众服务部下属的社区生活管理局（ACL）宣布第三轮「推进各州落实国家家庭照护者支持战略」拨款名单：六个州的老龄事务主管机构将获得合作协议资助，加利福尼亚州老龄事务厅名列其中，同批入选的还有伊利诺伊州、马里兰州、马萨诸塞州、密苏里州和威斯康星州的老龄或卫生机构。
每个项目周期24个月，预算最高49万美元；这轮拨款总额约300万美元，比前两轮增加了100万美元。项目期为2026年9月30日至2028年9月29日。各州必须围绕2022年《国家家庭照护者支持战略》及其2026年更新版的五大目标，至少选三个方向推进，并与本州的发展残障机构、至少另一家州级机构以及一个部落或部落机构合作，重点覆盖经济与社会需求最高的人群。
社区生活管理局指出，全美每年有超过6300万名家庭照护者在支撑长者和残障人士在社区生活。随着人口老龄化，这类由家人、朋友提供的照护需求还会继续上升，这批拨款就是要帮助各州把照护者需要的资源、培训和喘息服务做得更可及。（来源：社区生活管理局）
$3 Million in Federal Grants to Help Six States Support Family Caregivers, Including California
The Administration for Community Living (ACL), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, has announced the third round of its Advancing State Implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers grants. Six state units on aging will receive cooperative agreements, and the California Department of Aging is among them, alongside the aging agencies of Illinois and Maryland, the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging and Independence, the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, and the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Each project will be funded for 24 months with a budget of up to $490,000, and total funding for this round has increased by $1 million over the earlier rounds, to about $3 million. The project period runs from September 30, 2026, to September 29, 2028. States must focus on at least three of the five goals in the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers and its forthcoming 2026 update, collaborate with their state developmental disabilities agency, at least one other state agency and a tribe or tribal agency, and emphasize populations with the highest economic and social needs.
ACL notes that more than 63 million family caregivers support older adults and people with disabilities to live in the community each year, and that the need for such care will likely grow as the population ages. The grants are intended to make resources, training and respite support more accessible to those caregivers. (Source: Administration for Community Living)
