This week, the House Appropriations Committee approved its FY 2027 Labor-HHS funding bill, which includes several modest increases to Older Americans Act (OAA) programs, including OAA Title III C Nutrition Programs, Title VI Native American Aging Programs and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. However, the bill contains no funding for the OAA Title V Senior Community Service Employment Program. For more information on the bill, you can read our latest Legislative Update.
 
If you have sent a letter to or met with your lawmakers in support of OAA funding for FY 2027, we thank you! Your advocacy helped get these gains into the House Committee's bill, but our work is not done yet. Expect an OAA funding Advocacy Alert focused on the Senate early next week.
