Federal BudgetApr 24, 2023

Tell Congress to Invest in the Older Americans Act

Signed into law in 1965, the Older Americans Act (OAA) was designed to address the wide-ranging needs of older adults. Each year, funding for OAA programs and many other aging services needs to be approved by Congress and signed into law by the president. Pandemic-related funding and support for OAA services will be used up soon. In some states, it's already gone. Help us protect the federal funding needed to meet the needs of older adults, their families, and their communities.

Food AssistanceApr 24, 2023

Tell Congress to Improve the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program

For decades, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) has proven to be an effective tool for fighting hunger and poverty, especially among older adults. At a time when millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet, there are proposals in Congress, such as the Senior Hunger Prevention Act, that would strengthen this critical program. Help us protect (and improve) this much-needed food assistance program for vulnerable older adults.
