HHS Administration for Community Living websites devoted to supporting Elder Justice
WELCOME TO OLDER INDIANS
The Office for American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiian Programs currently administers the Title VI program that was established in 1978 as part of the Older Americans Act. Our office oversees Title VI funding to programs for the provision of nutrition, supportive services, and caregiver support services for American Indians, Alaskan Natives, and Native Hawaiians. The Older Indians website is dedicated to delivering training and technical assistance resources to Title VI Directors and serves as a forum for increased communication between Title VI programs.
News & Announcements
IMPORTANT: ACL's Tribal Consultation Policy Has Been Released
The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is pleased to share our final Tribal Consultation Policy. The policy, effective today, highlights ACL’s commitment to better serve Native elders, people with disabilities, their families, and their caregivers. This policy aligns with several key objectives of ACL's programs and policies, including addressing health and human services disparities among Indians, improving access to essential health and human services, and promoting the social, physical, mental health, and economic well-being of Indian communities. To achieve these goals, to the extent practicable and permitted by law, it is essential that Federally recognized Indian Tribes and ACL engage in open, continuous, and meaningful consultation.
Included in this announcement are ACL's Tribal Consultation Policy and the accompanying Dear Tribal Leader Letter. We encourage review of these materials but also note that the ACL team is available to answer questions or provide technical assistance.
We are excited to launch a new way of collaborating with Indian tribes and continue to grow our partnership with your communities.

If you have older veterans or other older adults with behavioral health issues in your Title VI program, then be sure take a look at this updated 2024 version of the Older Veteran Behavioral Health Resource Inventory from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This resource was developed in collaboration with ACL, along with a number of other agencies and organizations, to provide information that can help health and social service professionals support older veterans and other older adults who have or are at risk for behavioral health conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder, suicide prevention, long-term services and supports, and much more.
