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.
Older Veteran Behavioral Health Resource Inventory
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.

You can help shape the national plan on aging by completing a short survey here.
