NAC and Act on RAISE Policy Brief: The Older Americans Act and Supporting Family Caregivers - Older Americans Act Reauthorization is Critical to Family Caregivers in Every Community
National Alliance for Caregiving (NAC) and Act on RAISE released a new policy brief, "The Older Americans Act and Supporting Family Caregivers: Older Americans Act Reauthorization is Critical to Family Caregivers in Every Community."
The policy brief outlines key priorities to enhance caregiver support as the Older Americans Act (OAA) faces reauthorization. Because OAA programs serve older adults and caregivers in every state, congressional district and community in the country, NAC and the ACT on RAISE campaign have identified policy priorities for lawmakers to consider that are focused on strengthening and expanding supports for family caregivers.
One of the requests highlighted in the brief includes ensuring that OAA reauthorization extends authorities and funding for the RAISE Family Caregivers Act and the National Strategy to Support Family Caregivers to advance cross-cutting, national efforts to improve supports for family caregivers.
