Addressing SILO Act of 2026

The Addressing SILO Act of 2026 directs federal funding to community organizations to help older adults and people with disabilities combat social isolation and loneliness. Using $62.5 million over five years, the bill supports these groups in screening at-risk individuals, creating evidence-based programs to foster social connection, and linking them to necessary medical and social services. The legislation also requires the government to provide training to these organizations and mandates regular reports to Congress on how well the programs are working. By defining specific terms like social isolation and loneliness, the act aims to standardize how these issues are identified and addressed through established community networks.
