Supporting Family Caregivers of Older Adults: A National City Survey and Engagement Initiative

Grant Summary

The United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) will explore family caregiving supports at the local level by engaging mayors across the country. As highly visible and influential local leaders, mayors shape city policy agendas, drive implementation, and guide how municipalities respond to emerging challenges. USCM will conduct a national survey to capture city strategies and policies that support caregivers of older adults, produce a report synthesizing survey findings, and convene a mayoral forum to highlight key insights and recommendations. This initiative will generate the first systematic national data to ensure cities have evidence and tools to better support family caregivers and the older adults who depend on them.
