The Supplemental Respite Grant Program (SRGP) supports family caregivers by funding supplemental respite services that strengthen safety, reduce isolation, and ease daily responsibilities. Eligible supports include qualified home modifications, technology that promotes safety and social connection, housekeeping and laundry services, lawn mowing, snow removal, transportation to respite activities or medical appointments, and sensory items.
