Statewide Voucher Program Now Accepting Applications
NYSCRC is offering $600 respite vouchers to informal family caregivers across New York State. The program is open to both Kinship Caregivers caring for a child under 18 years old and caregivers of adults with a long-term chronic condition.
Please note that while we welcome applications from both first-time applicants and veterans of the program, we continue to give first-time applicants priority. We cannot guarantee approval of second vouchers, and these caregivers may be placed on a waitlist.
First-time applicants, please use the links below to download voucher forms.
If you’ve already received one voucher and you’d like to apply for another, please contact Rebecca at rhyde@lifespan-roch.org or Kristine at klawrence@lifespan-roch.org
