The Training and Services to End Abuse in Later Life Program is authorized by 34 U.S.C. 12421. The program's purpose is to increase and strengthen training for police, prosecutors, and the judiciary in recognizing, investigating, and prosecuting instances of abuse, neglect, exploitation, domestic violence, and sexual assault against older individuals; provide or enhance services for older victims; create or support multidisciplinary collaborative community responses to older victims; and conduct cross-training for victim service organizations, governmental agencies, courts, law enforcement, and nonprofit, nongovernmental organizations serving older victims.

With this continuation funding, Alexandra House will continue the collaboration started during its initial award with its project partners to address abuse in later life in their community. Alexandra House and its partners, Anoka County Attorneys Office, Anoka County Community Social Services - Adult Protection Services, Anoka County Sheriff's Office, Anoka County Community Corrections, Allina Forensic Nurse Examiner Program, Blaine Police Department, Coon Rapids Police Department, Fridley Police Department, Lino Lakes Police Department, Ramsey Police Department, Columbia Heights Police Department, and the Coon Rapids City Attorneys Office, will continue to support a multidisciplinary collaborative community response to abuse in later life. They will conduct a critical assessment of the initial project's outreach efforts and service delivery and expand upon existing victim services to improve outcomes for older victims.

The timing for performance of this continuation award is 36 months.
