California, Department of Family Medicine and Geriatrics, National

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The ACL National Center on Elder Abuse
serves as a national resource center dedicated to the prevention of
elder mistreatment. The NCEA disseminates elder abuse information to
professionals and the public, and provides technical assistance and
training to states and to community-based organizations. NCEA is unique
because it operates as a multi-disciplinary consortium of equal
partners with expertise in elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. They
serve as a national clearinghouse of information for elder rights
advocates, law enforcement, legal professionals, public policy leaders,
researchers, and others working to ensure that all older Americans will
live with dignity, integrity, independence, and without abuse, neglect,
and exploitation.
Additional funds are needed to leverage the resource center's
funding for elder abuse awareness through social media and creating
state leadership networks through targeted campaigns that will assist
states in spreading awareness. This supplementary funding would be
provided for the approved period.
This program is authorized under Title II of the Older Americans
Act Section 202(d)(2) which establishes the requirements for the
National Center for Elder Abuse.
Dated: April 19, 2016.

Administrator and Assistant Secretary for Aging.
