Opportunity Summary:
Building Long Term Sustainability in State Lifespan Respite Programs is a discretionary federal grant opportunity offered by the Administration for Community Living (ACL) under CFDA 93.072, the Lifespan Respite Care Program. The purpose is to help selected states strengthen, expand, and ultimately sustain statewide lifespan respite systems created under the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006 (P.L. 109-442). The central expectation is that states will move beyond pilot or early-stage implementation and bring their respite infrastructure to scale so it becomes a stable, embedded part of the state long-term services and supports (LTSS) system, continuing after federal grant funds end.
This competition is specifically aimed at long-term sustainability rather than simply launching new services. Funded states are expected to further implement the required elements of a statewide Lifespan Respite Care Program, improve statewide coordination, and make respite easier to access and navigate for family caregivers and individuals of any age who need support. In practical terms, the program focus is on building durable systems: developing or refining statewide coordination and governance, strengthening partnerships, integrating respite into broader aging and disability networks, and improving the policies, referral pathways, and service delivery structures that make respite an ongoing and dependable option within the LTSS landscape.
Funding for the opportunity was estimated at $1.8 million total, with an anticipated 14 awards. The award ceiling was $120,000 per grant, with no stated award floor. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning states were expected to contribute non-federal resources or otherwise meet the matching expectations described in the full announcement. As a competitive grant, applicants would need to demonstrate not only program need and readiness, but also credible sustainability planning, including how the state will maintain the program’s core functions, partnerships, and service capacity when federal dollars are no longer available.
Eligibility is limited and narrow. Applications were accepted only from eligible states or state agencies that administer the state’s Older Americans Act programs, administer Medicaid under Title XIX of the Social Security Act, or are officially designated by the Governor to administer the state’s programs under this title. In addition, the applicant must be an Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) working in collaboration with a state respite coalition or similar organization. The competition is further restricted to states that previously received an initial three-year Lifespan Respite grant. The eligible previously funded jurisdictions listed in the announcement include: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington State, and Wisconsin. Individuals, foreign entities, and sole proprietorships are explicitly not eligible.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2014-ACL-AOA-LI-0078 and an original (and current) closing date of June 5, 2014, with electronic applications due by 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on the deadline date. The opportunity was posted April 8, 2014, and later archived July 5, 2014. The administering agency is ACL, and the activity category is Income Security and Social Services.
