* This page, Healey-Driscoll Administration Awards Over $400,000 in Grants to Support Family Caregivers , is offered by * Executive Office of Aging & Independence (AGE) * Executive Office of Aging & Independence (AGE) ### Ellie Romano, Director of Communications BOSTON — Today, the Healey-Driscoll Administration awarded $400,405 to community-based organizations to support the economic security of unpaid family caregivers.
Five organizations will receive funding to support 91 municipalities across Massachusetts. Funded projects range from financial literacy training to resource navigation and community workshops. “Family caregivers work incredibly hard – often holding a full-time job in addition to supporting a loved one,” said **Governor Maura Healey**.
“We know many caregivers struggle with balancing their own work and finances, as well as their loved ones’, and these grants will help provide family caregivers with the support they need to pay the bills. ” AARP estimates the average caregiver pays more than $7,200 annually in out-of-pocket costs for transportation and other needs. “We have to support our family caregivers.
Without them, our home- and community-based services system will not succeed,” said **Lieutenant Governor Kim Driscoll**. “Family caregivers provide an estimated 36 billion hours of care for older parents, spouses, and other family and friends. Without family caregivers, there are not enough health care professionals to support our communities in need.
” The grant funding comes from the Administration on Aging, which is part of the Administration for Community Living (ACL) under the federal Department of Health and Human Services. Massachusetts was one of only four states selected to receive the FY 2024 Advancing State Implementation of the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers grant, demonstrating the state’s national leadership in aging policy and caregiver support.
“We are grateful to our partners at the ACL-AoA for prioritizing funding to support family caregivers,” said **Health and Human Services Secretary Kiame Mahaniah**. “One of our priorities in Massachusetts is to prepare for an aging population, and we can’t do that without our family caregivers, who live out that care and support every day. This funding will ensure we support them in the same way.
” “Our community-based organizations know exactly what their communities need, which is why we are so excited to get this funding into their hands,” said **Aging & Independence Secretary Robin Lipson**. “These grants will allow organizations on the ground to pilot innovative programs that ease the financial strain on caregivers — whether that’s helping with transportation, groceries, respite care, or other daily costs.
By investing in caregivers, we’re investing in the health and stability of families across the Commonwealth. ” Grants ranging from $50,000 to $150,000 were awarded to five community-based organizations.
