12526Y0063-Caregiver Concept Paper

Caregiver Concept Paper
THIS IS NOT A REQUEST FOR BID/PROPOSAL. No contract will be awarded as a result of this Concept Paper.

The NYC Department for the Aging's (NYC Aging) Caregiver Services Program provides caregivers with a variety of services to help them in caring for family members and friends—whether the caregiver or care receiver is an older adult. Staff from the Caregiver Program provide individualized information and assistance with accessing benefits, supportive counseling, and training to caregivers seeking help.  Caregivers can also access support groups, respite care (short-term caregiver relief services), and supplemental services through the program.

This Concept Paper is being issued to provide potential proposers and stakeholders an overview and background of the existing program, as well as potential changes, which will be expanded on in the upcoming Request for Proposals (RFP) anticipated to be released later in 2025. NYC Aging invites readers of this Concept Paper to provide feedback as it prepares the RFP.

Comments and questions in response to this concept paper are invited by no later than 5pm on September 26th, 2025 . Please email Mary Tracy at rfp@aging.nyc.gov and write “Caregiver Concept Paper” in the subject line.
