Houston-Galveston AAA Expands Access to Benefits and Services The Houston-Galveston Area Agency on Aging (AAA) advances its No Wrong Door approach by building strong partnerships across a broad geographic area spanning the Gulf Coast region, which includes both urban and rural communities, to improve access to benefits and services. Recognizing that their Houston-based office is not easily accessible to all residents within its service area, they collaborate with libraries in counties such as Wharton, Montgomery, and Liberty to host monthly outreach and enrollment events. These “pop-up” events provide in-person assistance to older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their families, helping them navigate and enroll in programs such as Medicare, Medicare Savings Program, Low Income Subsidy, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Medicaid. By bringing services directly into local communities, they reduce access barriers to ensure individuals can connect with available supports regardless of where they live.
