The Addressing Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults (SILO) Act will enable direct outreach and community support to seniors in need of connection.
Delaying the implementation of these rules means that students of all ages will continue to face systemic barriers to a quality education.
“Older adults have spent their entire lives contributing to our communities, and they deserve resources to support their health and well-being,” said Gillibrand.
To see them delayed is a dismissal of the rights and needs of people with disabilities.
