Diverse Elders Coalition (diverseelders.org) — a leading national advocacy group of six organizations that represent the interests and concerns of racially and ethnically diverse older adults, as well as LGBTQ+ older people — is seeking $450 million over eight years to support a series of initiatives grounded in the specific realities and needs of diverse older adult communities.With this funding, older people in underserved communities who have been facing these longstanding inequities could get the care and support they need and deserve.
This would include food security, cultural competency training to help bridge the gap between care providers and elders in the LGBTQ+ community, cyber education to decrease the digital divide, virtual.
