Abstract Date Presented 04/020/21 Low-income older adults are a vulnerable population who encounter many barriers to successfully aging in place. In this study, a 10-week Lifestyle Redesign® program, Discover Wellness, was implemented to determine its feasibility in promoting aging in place among low-income older adults residing in supportive housing. Innovative interventions such as Discover Wellness will help advance community OT practice regarding low-income older adults and aging in place.

The Impact

The passage of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA) of 1996 has major implications for low-income Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) populations. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the research currently examining the impact of welfare reform on AAPI recipients and the welfare-to-work services available to this population. This article highlights AAPI participation and their timing-out rates in California’s CalWORKs program and their barriers to transitioning to work. Four welfare-to-work program models and recommendations are presented to illustrate strategies that can be used to address the unique needs of AAPI in order to alleviate their high risk for timing-out: one-stop-shops, transitional jobs programs, providing comprehensive and family focused services, and additional research and evaluation of programs specific to assisting the AAPI population on CalWORKs.
