Black elders: viability during a time of cutbacks.
Black elders in the United States have fewer resources than their white cohorts. They have less income, poorer housing, shorter life expectancy, and more barriers to service. Recent federal cutbacks have been differentially damaging to black elders who were more dependent upon the programs being cut and who have fewer alternative resources. This is a matter of fiscal policy that has relevance to the physical and mental well-being of the largest segment of minority elderly in the United States.
