Opportunity Summary:
The FY2016 Lifespan Respite Care Program Competing Program Expansion Supplements opportunity is a discretionary grant competition offered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Community Living (HHS-ACL). It is designed specifically as a supplement for states that already hold FY2014 Lifespan Respite Care Program awards under the "Building Long Term Sustainability in State Lifespan Respite Programs" initiative. In other words, this is not a standalone start-up grant for new applicants; it is a targeted chance for existing FY2014 grantees to expand and deepen the work they began during the first two years of their earlier awards, while continuing to carry out the intent of the Lifespan Respite Care Act of 2006 (Public Law 109-442).
The central purpose of the supplement is to push state programs beyond planning and infrastructure development and toward more direct respite service delivery that addresses real, documented gaps. Applicants are expected to take a hard look at unmet respite needs in their state, identify where caregivers are not being served (or are under-served), and propose a concrete approach for using the additional funds to fill those holes. The focus is on helping family caregivers across the lifespan, meaning caregivers supporting children, adults, and older adults, rather than limiting respite to one age group or a single disability or condition. Proposals are expected to show that the state can translate its existing Lifespan Respite framework into practical, on-the-ground respite supports that families can actually access.
A major expectation in this competition is accountability for results at the consumer level. Applicants must spell out the specific outcomes they intend to achieve for the caregivers and care recipients who will receive services, and they must describe how those outcomes will be measured, monitored, and tracked over time. This places emphasis not just on providing services, but on demonstrating impact, such as improved caregiver well-being, reduced caregiver stress, increased ability to continue caregiving, or improved access to respite options. The announcement signals that strong applications will connect the proposed service expansion to clear performance measures and a realistic plan for data collection and reporting.
The competition is described as highly competitive with limited funds, and ACL indicates upfront that not every state that applies will be funded. Applications are evaluated based on how convincingly the applicant demonstrates the capacity to deliver Lifespan Respite Care services and how well the proposal addresses the required elements laid out in the program announcement. This implies that reviewers will be looking for evidence that the state is ready to execute immediately, has credible partnerships or delivery mechanisms, and can use the supplement to produce tangible service improvements rather than broad, unspecific activities.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number HHS-2016-ACL-CIP-LRLI-0174 and CFDA 93.072, with funding categorized under Income Security and Social Services. Eligible applicants are state governments (with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement). The award ceiling is $150,000 per award, with an anticipated total of about 10 awards. The opportunity was posted on April 22, 2016, and the application deadline was June 30, 2016.
