American Bar Association

The American Bar Association (ABA) Commission on Homelessness and Poverty and the ABA Commission on Law and Aging have collaborated to develop a resource hub designed to aid attorneys and advocates representing and/or supporting older adults at risk of poverty and homelessness. The resource hub includes information from the ABA, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and other national organizations like Justice in Aging, Administration for Community Living, USA Aging, and more.

The Commission on Law and Aging of the American Bar Association recently released a briefing paper discussing project findings and conclusions about Working Interdisciplinary Networks of Guardianship Stakeholders (WINGS). This briefing paper describes challenges of adult guardianship reform and the rationale for establishing WINGS, discusses the potential for applying a nation Court Improvement Program model to the adult guardianship system, and provides federal policy recommendations.
