Increased transparency and efficiency review for senior resource centers funding.
This Act mandates greater transparency for national senior resource centers funded under the Older Americans Act. Citizens will gain easy online access to information regarding each center's goals, the population served, funding sources, and annual effectiveness metrics. Furthermore, the Act requires a government review of these centers to streamline functions and ensure taxpayer funds are used efficiently.
Key points

Full Funding Disclosure: Citizens will know the amount and source of Federal and non-Federal funding each center receives annually, and the number of older individuals served.
Effectiveness Metrics: Centers must publish quantitative and qualitative data demonstrating how effectively they are advancing their stated goals.
