The Wyoming Department of Health, Aging Division, Community Living Section is accepting applications for the FFY2027 Wyoming Respite Voucher Program. The program supports self-directed respite services that give qualifying caregivers temporary relief from caregiving responsibilities.

Who can apply

The current public notice invites organizations located in Albany, Hot Springs, Niobrara, Platte, Washakie and Weston counties. The funded contractor will administer caregiver applications, care coordination, respite vouchers, reporting and reimbursement requirements under the National Family Caregiver Support Program.

Grant period and deadline

The grant period runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. Wyoming Department of Health states that the application is open until filled; no fixed closing date or award ceiling is stated on the public notice.

Operational requirements

The current WDH program policies require the contracted provider to employ and train a care coordinator, complete required background and Central Registry checks, maintain program and fiscal records, use the Division’s required data systems and forms, conduct ongoing caregiver follow-up, administer respite-voucher payments, and maintain an organizational emergency preparedness plan. WDH’s separate FFY2027 Title III-E allocation plan publishes provider-match amounts for existing providers elsewhere in Wyoming, but it does not assign an award or match amount to the six counties currently open for this Respite Voucher Program.

Atlas analysis

Atlas Opportunity Score: 66/100. This is a verified, currently open state health and caregiver-support funding pathway serving six Wyoming counties that lack a current Title III E provider. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The controlling program materials reimburse respite-service delivery and require care coordination, voucher administration and reporting; they do not establish a defensible telehealth, remote-exam or N9+ procurement pathway.
