Imposter scams are on the rise and are targeting vulnerable older adults online, over the phone, and in-person.

Join AASC on Tuesday, June 16th at 1PM EST for this timely Core Connections session hosted by the Federal Trade Commission on the most-reported scams and ways your residents can avoid them. More and more scams are taking everything older adults have saved by pretending to be family, banks, government, or healthcare providers.

We're excited to showcase a new breakout session during the 2026 National Service Coordinator Conference in Austin about the benefits of music therapy for older adults - the science is there, music is essential to health of the residents you serve!

AASC is excited to see that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has released $37 million in Resident Opportunities and Self-Sufficiency (ROSS) grants to 114 affordable housing properties to fund Service Coordinators!

These ROSS Service Coordinators will work with multifamily residents, older adults, persons with disabilities, public housing residents, and tribal communities to increase pathways to economic independence for those living in affordable housing. We know that Service Coordinators are essential in promoting self-sufficiency, and the federal government recognizes that importance in awarding these grants.

We're excited to see so many renewals of successful existing programs and new Service Coordinators being added to the ranks of those working hard to keep their residents healthy, happy, and housed!

Check out the full list of grantees here:https://content.govdelivery.com/attachments/USHUDPIH/2026/05/27/file_attachments/3664718/FY2025%20ROSS%20Funding%20Report.pdf
