The article is titled Older Americans Act Nutrition Programs: A Community-Based Nutrition Program Helping Older Adults Remain at Home and it can be found at Taylor and Francis Online. It details the program outcomes and future challenges and opportunities for the Older Americans Act Nutrition Programs, such as the increasing population of older adults, their increasing diversity, rising food insecurity, growing caregiver burden, and escalating health and LTSS costs. The article also discusses how nutrition programs are adapting to those changes by integrating into HCBS, bridging parallel health and social service systems, and focusing on the needs of the most vulnerable.
