Overview

Poverty, geographic isolation and limited availability of necessary social and legal services leave older adults in rural areas at greater risk of abuse and exploitation, and without adequate assistance after falling victim to such crimes. Equip for Equality’s Elder Justice for Rural Illinoisans Project addresses these issues.
