The report found that in the two years since the strategy's release, nearly all the federal actions committed to in 2022 were complete or are in progress, and federal agencies committed to almost 40 new actions since the strategy’s release. Along with the report, ACL published a set of data tables showing the status of more nearly 350 actions undertaken by 15 federal agencies in support of the strategy.

The 2022 National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers was created to support family caregivers of all ages, from youth to grandparents, and regardless of where they live or what caregiving looks like for them and their loved ones.
The strategy was developed jointly by the advisory councils created by the RAISE Family Caregiving Act and the Supporting Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Act, with extensive input from the public, including family caregivers and the people they support. It will be updated in response to public comments and will evolve with the caregiving landscape.
