S 3230 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Family Caregiver Peer Support Act

This bill creates a new federal grant program to fund peer support services for family caregivers under the Older Americans Act. It provides $10 million annually (2026-2030) to states, nonprofits, tribes, and community organizations to develop in-person and virtual programs where trained caregivers help others navigate systems, share emotional support, and access resources. The program specifically prioritizes underserved groups including low-income communities, immigrants, LGBTQ+ caregivers, young caregivers under 35, and those with disabilities. Funds can also support workforce training for peer specialists and language access services like translation for non-English speakers or American Sign Language users.
