The Elizabeth Dole Foundation (EDF), in partnership with VA, has announced the expansion of the Respite Relief for Military
and Veterans Caregivers program.

First launched in August, this program grants Veteran Family caregivers access to no-cost, short-term aid to help those
caring for wounded, ill, or injured Veterans or service members in their homes during the coronavirus pandemic. Following a
successful launch in select regions of California, Florida and Texas, the program is now available to Caregivers nationwide.
