The Act is one of the top funding sources for low-income senior legal assistance. Nationwide, ap-proximately 1,000 legal services providers funded through the Act provide more than one million hours of assistance to se-niors per year on a wide range of legal issues. Legal Assistance Developers at the state level coordinate these services and work to increase the availability of legal representation and advice to older adults throughout the state, especially those in the greatest social or economic need. Predatory lending, investment schemes, identity theft, home repair scams, and other types of financial exploitation contin-ue to be major problems for older Americans. Many victimized older adults lose their life savings or their homes and then re-quire nursing homes. AoA’s legal providers and legal help lines protect seniors from these threats to home ownership by pro-viding them with prevention information and help in seeking restitution. Today, too many older Americans are confronted by the threats of abuse, neglect, and exploitation. AoA’s Elder Rights Program protect seniors from known abuses to which older adults are often susceptible and assure the basic rights and ben-efits of vulnerable older people.
