Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
The Multigenerational Care and Support Act amends federal law to expand volunteer opportunities for older Americans by encouraging them to work at facilities serving both seniors and younger generations, such as senior centers and long-term care facilities. The legislation focuses on creating mentorship programs and activities that connect older adults with younger people, promoting civic engagement and intergenerational support. The bill modifies the existing Older Americans Act of 1965 to establish demonstration and research projects that develop and promote these multigenerational activities. The legislation also updates reporting requirements, directing findings to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. The bill does not specify new funding amounts or implementation timelines in the text provided, though it authorizes grant programs to support these demonstration projects.
