In September 2022, the RAISE Act Family Caregiving Advisory Council and the Advisory Council to Support Grandparents Raising Children, with input from family caregivers and the people they support, released the 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers. The Strategy includes actions to ensure that family caregivers have the resources they need to maintain their own health, well-being, and financial security while providing crucial support for others.

The federal government alone cannot implement the recommendations set forth by the National Strategy; it will need to work in partnership with state and local governments and the private sector. The goal of this publication is to provide a roadmap for state officials to better understand the state policy landscape for supporting family caregivers of older adults and to identify opportunities for innovation in their own states.
