Show notes

What happens when critical aging services are put on the chopping block? The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is facing major restructuring, potentially dismantling key programs that support older adults and individuals with disabilities. In this episode, Howard Gleckman and Alison Bankoff explain why this decision matters—not just for seniors, but for families, caregivers, and communities nationwide. We'll break down the potential consequences, discuss how advocacy groups are responding, and highlight what you can do to ensure these vital services remain intact.
