The need to work collaboratively to create solutions to improve access to affordable, accessible housing and the critical services that make community living possible has never been greater. With new funding and flexibilities, states and local stakeholders have a not-to-be-missed opportunity to sustainably connect housing and services in ways that improve housing stability for older adults, people with disabilities, and people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

Join the ACL National Falls Prevention and CDSME Resource Centers (operated by the National Council on Aging) for a four-part webinar series that aims to raise awareness about the role of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in the implementation of evidence-based programs, discuss avenues for sustaining and reimbursing CHWs, and highlight how CHWs can help organizations reach diverse populations and address social determinants of health factors. 

Every May, ACL leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). In 2022, ACL will be focusing on aging in place – how older adults can plan to stay in their homes and live independently in their communities for as long as possible. The 2022 theme is Age My Way, an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities.
