Act now! OAA reauthorization must include services for LGBT elders
 July 2012 | Robert Espinoza
"Congress can begin rectifying this problem through OAA reauthorization, which has modernized
the OAA so that it remains responsive to ever-changing demographics, such as the increase in
communities of color. First, the OAA should specify LGBT older adults as a vulnerable population
with the greatest economic and social need."
Robert Espinoza, Senior Director of Public Policy and Communications at SAGE, discusses the importance of including LGBT older adults in the Older Americans Act in this article published in Aging Today, the bimonthly newspaper of the American Society on Aging. |
