Let your Congressmember know the Older Americans Act (OAA) is Important to you.
The OAA provides important services that help older residents live with dignity in their community of choice through services provided by local aging services providers and your county Office for Aging (or DFTA in NYC.) Read more about these services here. This week marked the 60th anniversary of the OAA, and another year has passed without the Act being modernized to reflect updated needs of aging residents.

Now is the time to call your Representative at (202) 224-3121 to tell them the Older Americans Act needs to be reauthorized (already overdue!)
- Urge them to get Senate Bill S2120 introduced and acted on by the House.
- Also urge them to include increased funding for services in the appropriations bills they are working on this summer.
