A New Framework for a National Plan on Aging

The Administration for Community Living invites you to attend a public Webinar on June 10, at 2 p.m. ET, for an overview of its new report “Aging in the United States: A Strategic Framework for a National Plan on Aging.”  The report lays the groundwork for a public-private effort to create national recommendations that support healthy aging and inclusive communities that truly value older adults—including those with disabilities.  Developed by 16 federal agencies and departments, the framework considers the many factors that help people age, live, and work with independence and dignity, such as high-quality services and supports; coordinated health care and supportive services; and accessible, inclusive communities and workplaces.

Incentives for Small Businesses to Hire Talent with Disabilities

In case you missed it, you can now watch the recording of the Webinar “Local and State Disability Inclusion Incentives and Resources for Small Businesses” from the USDOL-funded Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability Inclusion (EARN).  The presentation educates small business owners about incentives—such as tax incentives or reimbursements for the cost of workplace accommodations—for hiring people with disabilities.  Presentation slides from the May 2024 Webinar are also available online.
