This two-page fact sheet provides basic information about the National Family Caregiver Support Program, which was authorized by the Older Americans Act of 2000 and provides funding to states for support services to nonparental relatives older than age 60 caring for children. Administered by the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration on Aging, this program may provide opportunities for older refugee caregivers to participate in existing local support programs or for states to develop new programming specific to the needs of newcomers.
