Addressing SILO Act of 2023

This bill, HR 2692 (the Addressing SILO Act of 2023), provides $62.5 million annually (2024-2027) to fund community programs aimed at reducing social isolation and loneliness among older adults and adults with disabilities. It directs grants to area agencies on aging and community-based organizations to conduct outreach, develop evidence-based interventions, connect at-risk individuals with support services, and evaluate program effectiveness. The bill requires the Secretary to submit annual reports assessing program impact and mandates coordination with existing Older Americans Act programs. It directly affects eligible community organizations and the older adults/disabled adults they serve, focusing on practical, community-level solutions rather than broad policy changes.
