Summary
What This Bill Does
This bill amends the Older Americans Act to create a new grant program for public and nonprofit community-based service providers to expand training and support services for families and unpaid caregivers of people with Alzheimer s disease or related dementias. It authorizes funding for fiscal years 2025 through 2029.
Who Benefits and How
Families and unpaid caregivers of people living with Alzheimer s disease or related dementias benefit from expanded access to training and support services. Underserved communities, minorities, women, and people with disabilities are specifically targeted to benefit, as the bill requires culturally and linguistically appropriate services and prioritizes providers serving underserved areas. Community health centers, senior centers, area agencies on aging, and similar organizations benefit from new grant funding.
