Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2023
The Senior Legal Hotline Act of 2023 creates a federal grant program to fund statewide telephone hotlines providing free legal assistance to older adults. Eligible nonprofits or partnerships can apply for grants to establish or operate these hotlines, which must serve older individuals with the greatest economic and social need. Grantees must provide trained staff, collaborate with state legal aid providers, and conduct outreach to target vulnerable seniors, while covering at least 25% of costs through non-federal funds. The program is funded at $10 million annually for fiscal years 2024-2028, with grants awarded competitively to ensure no state receives duplicate funding.
