Lee County National Family Caregiver Proposal <br />FY 2019/20 <br />Total Funding Requested: <br />The program year 19/20 proposal is a continuation and enhancement of the 18/19 <br />program. <br />Lee County met program goals for 2018/19 resulting in a very successful program year. Each <br />year we reflect on how each proposed idea was implemented and received and how it has <br />impacted our family caregivers and the program. This process allows us to create a better <br />foundation to build upon and ensure continued growth. It is our goal for FY 2019/20, per <br />notification of available funding, to maintain the programs and services that are currently being <br />offered.
