UHD Recognizes Older Americans Month
Summary
Older Americans Month
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 40.3 million U.S. residents 65 years and older in the 2010 Census and more than 54 million on July 1, 2019. Recently, proclamations from both President Joe Biden and Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared May 2021 as the month to honor Older Americans.
“The University of Houston-Downtown is known for recognizing disparities among vulnerable populations and for its commitment to improving overall life outcomes for these individuals through education and research,” said UHD President Loren J. Blanchard. “May is Older Americans Month and we are proud of the work the University’s Collaboratory on Aging Resources & Education (CARE) in the Center for Public Service & Community Research achieves in order to facilitate systemic change through collaboration and community-based research.”
