Administration for Community Living

Description

Support projects for legal assistance for older persons under Title IV, Section 420 (a)(1) of the Older Americans Act (OAA), as amended in 2006 (P.L. 109-365), are intended to build and strengthen the national system of legal assistance and elder rights programs and to improve the quality, cost effectiveness, and accessibility of legal assistance and elder rights protections provided to older people.
