Grants for States to Create Long-Term Aging and Disability Support Plans.
This law establishes a grant program for states and tribal organizations to develop comprehensive, multi-year strategies aimed at improving the lives of older individuals, their families, and caregivers.

The goal is to ensure seniors can age with dignity and autonomy within their communities.
