Administration on Aging
The Administration on Aging (AoA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. AoA works to ensure that older Americans can stay independent in their communities, mostly by awarding grants to States, Native American tribal organizations, and local communities to support programs authorized by the Congress in the Older Americans Act. AoA also awards discretionary grants to research organizations working on projects that support those goals. It conducts statistical activities in support of the research, analysis, and evaluation of programs to meet the needs of an aging population.
AoA's FY 2013 budget proposal includes a total of $1.9 billion, $819 million of which funds senior nutrition programs like Meals on Wheels. The agency also funds $539 million in grants to programs to help seniors stay in their homes through services (such as accomplishing essential activities of daily living, like getting to the doctor's office, buying groceries etc.) and through help given to caregivers.〔(FY 2013 President's Budget Justification for Appropriations Committees of Congress, p.22 )〕 Some of these grants are for ''Cash & Counseling'' programs that provide Medicaid participants a monthly budget for home care and access to services that help them manage their finances.〔(Self-Directed Budget Enhances Access to Home Health and Other Needed Services, Resulting in Fewer Unmet Needs, Better Health Outcomes, and High Satisfaction for Medicaid Beneficiaries )〕
AoA is headed by the Assistant Secretary for Aging, a position currently held by Kathy Greenlee. The Assistant Secretary reports directly to the Secretary of Health and Human Services.
