The Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) has released the Notice of Funding Opportunity for the FY 2025 Abuse in Later Life Program.

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. By drawing attention to elder abuse, we recognize that the severe and growing elder abuse crisis is not a separate issue from domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking—older adults, too, are impacted by these abuses.
