Justice in Aging
Justice in Aging (formerly NSCLC) is a national organization advocating for the health and economic security of our country’s low-income older adults, especially women, people of color, and other traditionally disadvantaged communities. Since inception in 1972 as the National Senior Citizens Law Center, operating a small office of a handful of attorneys in Los Angeles, we’ve grown into Justice in Aging with a presence all over the nation. From our three home base offices in Washington, DC, Los Angeles and Oakland, CA, our attorneys employ their deep expertise in Medicare, Medicaid, LTSS, Social Security and Supplemental Security Income to provide training and technical assistance to over 20,000 aging professionals each year and design and implement strategic advocacy initiatives that impact millions of seniors. Our advocacy ranges from litigation that preserves essential health and income benefits to policy advocacy focused on better integration of the health care and long term services and supports (LTSS) delivery systems.
