The Elder Pride Act of 2026 aims to improve support for LGBTQI older individuals living in rural areas by creating a grant program under the Older Americans Act of 1965. The main goal is to enhance outreach and services for this specific group, ensuring they receive the care and resources they need. The act establishes a rural outreach grant program that allows eligible entities, such as state governments, tribal organizations, and nonprofit groups focused on older or LGBTQI individuals, to apply for funding.
