What is an Area Agency on Aging?
In 1965, Congress enacted the Older Americans Act to organize community-based programs for older adults. Amendments to the Act added a nutrition program for the elderly and required states to form Area Agencies on Aging. These Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) direct local efforts around federal and state programs. About 700 AAAs exist nationwide. Their purpose is to help seniors find services to remain living independently in their homes for as long as possible.
