Ten years ago, Congress made a giant leap forward in recognizing the role and value of family caregiving. During the 2000 reauthorization of the Older Americans Act, Congress created the National Family Caregiver Support Program (NFCSP). Since then, MAAA has partnered with local organizations to help develop the Metropolitan Caregivers Connections Collaborative and has funded services to support family caregivers. We salute our provider partners on the 10th anniversary of the NFCSP. You've made a difference in the lives of caregivers and their families by offering respite, coaching & counseling, education, and other services. Thank you for your dedication to family caregivers and for your creativity in developing and adopting promising models of support.
