Key Points

The bill officially adds LGBTQI and HIV status to the list of groups with the greatest social need under the Older Americans Act. This change helps ensure these seniors get priority for certain federal aging services and support programs.
It creates a new Office of LGBTQI Inclusion within the federal Administration on Aging. This office would be led by a Director who coordinates services, promotes access, and researches the specific challenges faced by LGBTQI older adults.
The government would be required to collect data on discrimination against LGBTQI seniors in nursing homes and other long-term care facilities. This includes tracking unfair treatment in admissions, discharges, or the quality of care provided.
A permanent National Resource Center on LGBTQI Aging would be established to provide technical assistance and training. The center would help local organizations better understand and serve the unique needs of this population and their caregivers.
