Federally Supported Services for LGBT Older Adults
 February 2016 | SAGE
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) older adults face
structural inequalities, including pronounced social isolation and
higher rates of poverty than their non-LGBT peers, along with
systemic barriers to accessing culturally competent aging services
and supports.
This policy paper describes what the Older Americans Act (OAA) is, how LGBT older adults do not directly benefit from this $2 billion-a-year federal program and why the OAA needs to be amended in order to better serve LGBT older Americans. |
