Justice in Aging provides the opportunity to live with dignity, regardless of financial circumstances—free from the worry, harm, and injustice caused by lack of health care, food, or a safe place to sleep. By using the power of law to strengthen the social safety net and remove the barriers low-income seniors face in trying to access the services they need, Justice in Aging works to ensure the future we all envision for our loved ones and ourselves.

Justice in Aging, formerly known as the National Senior Citizen Law Center, engages in three main arenas to protect the rights of poor seniors and strengthen the programs they rely on: Administrative Advocacy, providing expertise and resources to direct service advocates, and litigation.
