Advocating for Formerly Incarcerated Older Adults

Older adults reentering communities after incarceration face significant barriers to reintegrating. In particular, older adults of color are disproportionately represented in the reentry population and are at risk of being unable to access important health and economic security programs. This training session will explore the issues that older adults face in accessing public benefits, health care, and housing after incarceration as well as discuss strategies for advocating on their behalf.

This training session will address:

• Strategies for accessing housing in reentry
• Understanding Medicaid and Medicare limitations for older adults in reentry
• Navigating common Social Security eligibility issues for older adults in reentry 

This session will be held on Thursday, January 26, 2023, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. ET.
