Abstract: The Administration for Community Living’s Administration on Aging (ACL/AoA) has an ongoing strategy of program improvement through enhanced program performance measurement, in compliance with requirements of the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) program reviews, the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010 (GPRAMA), and the OAA Section 202(f), by proposing to conduct further studies of program outcomes. The surveys have enabled ACL/AoA to establish baselines and performance targets for annual and long-term outcome measures required by OMB and incorporate new performance information in agency budget justifications and performance plans. Further, the studies demonstrated that services provided under Title III: • Are effectively targeted to vulnerable populations • Are provided to individuals who need the services • Are highly rated by recipients (quality) • Provide assistance that is instrumental in enabling recipients to maintain their independence.
