Older Americans Act Reauthorization
The Older Americans Act (OAA) funds critical services that keep older adults healthy and independent—services like meals, job training, senior centers, caregiver support, transportation, health promotion, benefits enrollment, and more.
The Act is overdue for reauthorization—and we’re urging Congress to seize this opportunity to update and renew its commitment to these programs and those they serve. See which Senators, Representatives, and organizations publicly spoke up for our OAA Support Drive, mobilized by our One Away Campaign for Elder Economic Security.
