The program is designed to support innovative models of dementia-specific respite care through activities in two priority areas:
Priority Area 1:
Through the development and implementation of a comprehensive program of training and technical assistance, improve the capacity of community-based agencies to provide dementia-specific respite programs and related services.

(Up to 20% of each annual budget) and Priority Area 2:
Advancing the delivery of innovative community-based dementia-specific respite care models (Not less than 80% of each annual budget) Through this new, five-year, national initiative, ACL will test innovations in community-based, dementia-specific models of respite programming and support persons living with dementia (of all ages) and their caregivers by:
Increasing the availability of innovative, community-based dementia-specific respite service care in states and communities through the development and implementation of new models; and Providing technical assistance, at a national level, to increase the capacity of the aging services network to make available and provide innovative, dementia-specific respite in support of people living with dementia (at all ages) and their family caregivers.

ACL will fund one (1) cooperative agreement under which the grantee will focus activity in two priority areas:
1) adding to the nation’s capacity to support caregivers and people living with dementia (of all ages) to remain in their homes and communities through the availability and delivery of dementia-specific respite care, and 2) advancing innovative models of community-based, dementia-specific respite programs that provide non-medical care to assist caregivers, and persons living with dementia (of all ages).

ACL plans to fund one (1) cooperative agreement at a federal funding level of up to $5,000,000 per year, for five years (60 months), pending the availability of federal funds.
