Additional Funding for Housing and Community-Based Services
Thanks to your advocacy we have achieved a preliminary victory on 2016 funding for senior housing and services programs. Now we have to make sure these essential services get the funding increases they need.
For the last several months, we have advocated for Congress to lift the spending caps that threatened severe cuts in housing and home- and community-based services. Late last month Congress passed a budget measure to do just that.
But we still have to make sure that senior housing and services get the fair share of extra money this new budget allows.
Contact your lawmakers and tell them it is crucial that essential services for the aging get appropriations increases.
