We focus our advocacy, training, and litigation on areas where we can have the most impact on the lives of low-income seniors. Learn more about our model of change.

Economic Security & Housing

Nearly 5 million older Americans live on less than $1,000 a month. We expand access to Social Security, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), and housing programs that help older adults meet their basic needs. And we address systemic barriers that make it difficult for seniors to access these programs.

Health Care & Long-Term Services & Supports

Older adults with Medicare spend an average of $5,368 a year on out-of-pocket costs and most have no long-term care coverage. We protect and improve programs that make health care more affordable and break down barriers to services so that older people can age at home and in their communities.

Elder Rights

As people age, loneliness and isolation can lead to harm and abuse. Justice in Aging strengthens the programs and supports that enable older adults to remain engaged, empowered, and able to advocate for themselves.
