On October 8, LeadingAge sent a series of letters to key negotiators from the House, Senate, and White House who are working out the next iteration of the Build Back Better Act.

The Build Back Better Act package is expected to shrink considerably in the coming weeks and LeadingAge is working furiously to ensure our priorities for older adults and aging services providers are not left on the cutting room floor.

Also on October 8, LeadingAge participated in a twitterstorm to highlight the importance of keeping the bill’s $322 billion for affordable housing programs intact. There are reports the entirety of these funds are at risk, including the bill’s $2.4 billion for HUD’s Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program.

The letters are here:

To House leadership.

To Senate leadership.

To the National Economic Council of the White House.

To the Domestic Policy Council of the White House.
