You May Not Know the Older Americans Act...but You Should!
An unsung hero that provides vital funding for a broad range of programs and supports for older adults, the Older American Act (OAA) is the quiet backbone of aging services in our country. Senior centers, area agencies on aging, and other community-based organizations have been powered by the OAA for 60 years.
This year's theme is Powering Possibilities: Flip the Script. As always, we're here to support your celebration with a customizable poster, publicity guide, social media posts, and more.
Join NCOA Sept. 22-26, 2025, for Falls Prevention Awareness Week, a nationwide observance to raise awareness about falls prevention and helping older adults live without fear of falling.
Whether you've already felt the impact of changes in federal funding or not, state legislators will be faced with difficult choices in the coming years. Start building relationships with elected officials now.
Our Action Center offers opportunities to educate your members of Congress about key aging issues, like the Older Americans Act, but there are more ways to engage. Use the upcoming Congressional recess to set up meetings and visits that help elected officials understand the impact of your work. The more they know, the better equipped they are to help you.
