Intergenerational Care Facility Incentive Grant Program

The State of Nebraska's Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is issuing a Request for Applications (RFA) for the Intergenerational Care Facility Incentive Grant Program. This program aims to provide one-time startup grants to nursing homes and assisted living facilities to develop intergenerational childcare facilities that integrate nursing services and childcare. The total funding allocated for this initiative is $300,000, with individual grants of up to $100,000 available for structural modifications, outdoor campus enhancements, or the purchase of childcare equipment. The goal is to bridge the intergenerational gap by fostering an inclusive environment where senior citizens and children can engage in enriching activities together. Eligible applicants must meet specific requirements, including documentation of nursing home or assisted living facility status, certification for Medicare or Medicaid participation, and a plan for quality improvement participation within three years of grant award.
