The Task Force greatly appreciates the vision and dedication of Amber Hollibaugh who, in her time as Senior Strategist on Aging at the Task Force, created a national network of advocates and pioneered many of the perspectives and positions herein. We want to thank Task Force interns and fellows whose research was critical to this volume: Ernest Gonzales, Carla Herbitter, Erica Grace Nelson, Tey Meadow, Patrick Paschall, Angie Gambone, Jesse Zatloff, Meredith Palmer and also former Senior Policy Analyst Nicholas Ray. Several experts in LGBT aging helped refine our drafts and hone our perspectives: Dr. Kimberly Acquaviva, Loree Cook-Daniels, and Dr. Brian DeVries.

  • Older Americans Act
    DEPARTMENT of HEALTH and HUMAN SERVICES FY 2015 Report to Congress: Older Americans Act Prepared by ADMINISTRATION ON AGING ADMINISTRATION FOR COMMUNITY LIVING THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 1 FROM THE ADMINISTRATION FOR COMMUNITY LIVING The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is committed to the fundamental principle that older adults and people of all ages with disabilities should be able to live where they choose, with the people they choose, and fully participate in their communities. ACL’s programs provide individualized, person-centered home and community-based services and supports, and invest in research and best practices, to make that principle a reality for millions of people. It does so by working with other federal agencies, states, localities, Tribal organizations, nonprofit organizations, businesses, and families to help older adults and people with disabilities live in their homes and fully participate in their communities. Those with disabilities or functional limitations of any type, regardless of age, have a common interest: access to home and community-based supports and services that help individuals fully participate in all aspects of society, including having the option to live at home, which can be vital to an individual’s well- being, instead of moving into an institutional setting. ACL’s mission is to maximize the independence, well-being, and health of older adults, people with disabilities, and their families and caregivers. As part of this important mission, the Administration on Aging (AoA) advances the concerns and interests of older people, whether living in their own home or in a long-term care facility, and works with and through the national aging services network to promote the development of comprehensive and coordinated systems of home and community-based care that are responsive to the needs and preferences of older people and their caregivers.
