The Community Care Corps is a national, federally funded grant program that funds and evaluates innovative local models designed to provide volunteer assistance to family caregivers, older adults, and persons with disabilities to assist in maintaining independence by providing nonmedical volunteer assistance in home or community-based settings. The Administrators will distribute funds to foster development, expansion and refinement of innovative volunteer nonmedical assistance models which support older adults, people with disabilities, and their family caregivers to maintain independence in the community. Community Care Corps’ goal is to increase the number of community-based volunteer programs available to provide nonmedical assistance to older adults, persons with disabilities age 18 and older, and their family caregivers to maintain independence in the community while decreasing the number of older adults, persons with disabilities age 18 and older, and family caregivers who need assistance in maintaining independence in the community but are unable to obtain help.
Applications are due December 11, 2024.
