## Resource

A new Senate bill, the SILO Act, aims to pour $62.5 million annually into programs tackling loneliness among seniors and people with disabilities—addressing a deadly crisis where isolation spikes dementia risk and cuts life expectancy by 45%. Championed by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, the legislation funds community-building efforts, staff training, and vital social-medical connections, ensuring these often-overlooked populations aren’t left behind.
