Plain-English Summary

The bill would create a new Office of LGBTQI Inclusion within the federal government's aging programs to help ensure older LGBTQ adults receive appropriate services and support. It would also establish a grant program to help bring aging services to rural communities where older adults often have limited access to care. These changes aim to address gaps in services for both LGBTQ seniors and elderly people living in remote areas.
