  5. Older Americans Act • Between 1965 and 1973, a great deal of money was spent to start senior centers as a means of providing opportunities for older people to socialize. • Until the 1973 amendments to the OAA, State Offices on Aging acted as the decision-making bodies that granted funds to individual community projects. • In 1973 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) were created so that decisions could be made on a local level, based on local needs.

  6. Older Americans Act Mandates • Older Americans Act mandates that we target those individuals deemed to be in the “greatest economic and social need”. • Greatest economic need – a need resulting from an income level at or below the Federal Poverty Level. • Greatest social need – a need caused by non- economic factors that threaten an individual’s capacity to live independently.
