The Elder Pride Act amends the Older Americans Act of 1965 to significantly enhance support and services for LGBTQI older individuals. It explicitly includes "status as an LGBTQI individual" and "status as an individual with HIV" in the definition of "greatest social need" and expands the definition of "minority" to encompass LGBTQI individuals, ensuring their specific challenges are recognized within federal aging programs. A central provision of the bill is the establishment of an Office of LGBTQI Inclusion within the Administration, led by a Director and Assistant Director. This office is tasked with coordinating federal activities, promoting access to aging services, collecting data on challenges, and administering grants to expand services for LGBTQI older individuals. The Assistant Director will serve as an advocate, support research, and recommend policies for culturally competent care. Furthermore, the bill creates a new Rural Outreach Grant Program , authorizing $5,000,000 annually for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. These grants will be awarded to eligible entities, such as states, tribes, and non-profits, to foster partnerships and meet the needs of LGBTQI older individuals and other protected classes residing in rural areas. The program also aims to provide comprehensive sexual health services to all older individuals in these communities, including those with HIV. Funds from this grant program can be used for initiatives such as education and training, reducing isolation, improving cultural competency among service providers, and expanding nondiscrimination policies based on sexual orientation, gender identity, or intersex traits. The goal is to build relationships between these individuals and their local communities, ensuring that services are inclusive and responsive to their unique circumstances. The Assistant Secretary will establish standards and guidelines for these activities and report annually to Congress on the program's progress.
