Families First Community Grant Program (Tennessee)

Lifespan Respite Grant is a grant from Tennessee Department of Human Services that funds respite care services for family caregivers through state voucher programs. Funded under the federal Lifespan Respite Care Program, these state-level programs provide stipends, reimbursements, or vouchers enabling family caregivers to select, hire, and train their own respite providers. Individual state programs set their own eligibility criteria, and funding amounts vary by service type. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations providing respite care in states with active Lifespan Respite programs. Caregivers must be state residents.
