Bill 118 s 4867, also known as the "Housing Programs and Services for Older Individuals Study Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study on housing programs and services for older individuals under the Older Americans Act of 1965. The bill mandates that the Comptroller General submit a report to Congress detailing the results of this study.
The study would analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of housing programs and services provided to older individuals under the Older Americans Act. This includes examining the availability of affordable housing options, the accessibility of services such as transportation and home care, and the overall impact of these programs on the well-being of older Americans.
The goal of this bill is to provide Congress with valuable information on the current state of housing programs and services for older individuals, in order to identify any areas for improvement and ensure that these programs are meeting the needs of this vulnerable population. By conducting a thorough analysis and submitting a detailed report, the Comptroller General will help inform future policy decisions and potentially lead to enhancements in the support provided to older Americans under the Older Americans Act.
