This funding opportunity is open to states under the following two categories:

1. New States – ACL will make funds available to states who have not previously received a grant under this program.
2. Returning States – ACL will make awards to states that have had at least one (1) Lifespan Respite Program grant, but whose programs have gone dormant or lapsed since federal funding ended and, thus, desire to re-establish their core state respite infrastructures, rather than apply for a Program Enhancement grant published under Funding Opportunity Number HHS-2023-ACL-AOA-LRLI-0014.

ACL will fund at least one cooperative agreement, with a federal funding level of up to $235,000 each year for 3-years, for potential maximum funding of $705,000 over the course of the 3-year project period.
