In 1965, Congress enacted the Older Americans Act to coordinate community- based programs for senior citizens. Its objectives were assisting senior citizens in finding adequate housing, health services, dignified long-term institutional and in-home care, and acting as an advocate for job opportunities. Amendments to the Act in 1972 increased its range to include a nutrition program for the elderly and in 1973 required states to establish Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) to coordinate federal and state programs with local efforts. A nationwide network of Area Agencies on Aging assist seniors in finding the services they need to remain independent and safe in their homes as long as possible. An Area Agency on Aging is a public or nonprofit private agency or office designated by the state to carry out the Older Americans Act at the local level. Like its counterpart at the state level, an Area Agency on Aging serves both as the advocate and visible focal point in its planning and service area to foster the development of more comprehensive and coordinated service systems to serve older individuals. It is through the Area Agencies on Aging that most Older Americans Act services are funded, implemented, coordinated, expanded and updated.
