ACL has awarded approximately $3.6 million in combined funding to continue the work of the Older Adults’ Equity Collaborative (OAEC). Established in 2020, the OAEC is a group of national Minority Aging Technical Assistance and Resource Centers (TARCs) that each focus on serving a unique community. Together, they work to ensure access and equity across aging services programs by providing technical assistance to the aging services network. To promote and support collaboration, coordination, and cross-cutting efforts among the OAEC organizations, ACL also funds a coordinating center. The new grantee cohort of five TARCs and the coordinating center is funded for three years, from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2026.
