FROM THE NETWORK
Developed through an ACL grant, the new Older Adults’ Equity Collaborative (OAEC) Resource Library
collects digital materials from OAEC member organizations to provide tools,
guidance, and promising practices to the aging services network, providers
serving diverse communities, and older adults and family caregivers. The
library offers resources on a variety of topics, including:
- Social isolation and mental
health
- Alzheimer’s/dementia
- Disability
- Caregiving
- Retirement income and
security
- Emergency planning
The OAEC is made up of five ACL-funded national Minority Aging
Technical Assistance and Resource Centers (TARCs), which are housed in
the following organizations:
The OAEC promotes collaboration among minority aging organizations
and other ACL-funded resource centers that work with older adults and
caregivers. The New York Academy of Medicine's Center for Healthy Aging is the OAEC
coordinating center and facilitated the development of its resource
library.

OAEC & RAISE
In April 2021, the OAEC presented recommendations to the RAISE Family Caregiving Advisory Council on
how a national family caregiving strategy can work toward access and equity
in aging services programs. The presentation included an analysis of
cross-cutting themes affecting older adults and their caregivers, including
intersectional, cultural, linguistic, and financial considerations. View the
recording and presentation.
