Supporting Full & Healthy Lives for Older Adults

On July 14, 1965, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Older Americans Act (OAA) into law. For more than 60 years, the Act has preserved older Americans’ right to live independently, with health and financial security, making everyday decisions according to our individual preferences and goals across our lifespan.

The OAA supports a nationwide network of organizations—across national, state, tribal, and local levels—in delivering vital programs that help older adults age well, especially those most at risk.
