The Administration for Community Living (ACL) has awarded $2.8 million in funding through its Elder Justice Innovation Grants Program. This initiative aims to enhance the safety and well-being of older adults by increasing the availability of emergency and transitional housing and supportive services for older adults, including those with disabilities, who experience abuse, neglect and/or exploitation. The Virginia Center on Aging is one of the six grantees chosen for its significant contribution to addressing issues related to the well-being and safety of older adults. The funding will empower the Center to develop new strategies and resources that will help combat elder abuse and improve the lives of older adults.
