Funded by the Administration for Community Living, Administration on Aging of the US Department of Health and Human Services, State Lifespan Respite Programs or Projects are run by a designated state government lead agency, which works in collaboration with a state respite coalition and an Aging and Disability Resource Center. Their purpose is to implement statewide systems of coordinated, community-based respite for family caregivers caring for individuals with special needs of all ages. Thirty states and the District of Columbia have received Lifespan Respite grants from ACL/AoA and they are identified below with their contact information.
