Authors: Kirsten J. Colello, Domestic Social Policy Division 
Abstract: This report describes Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs), NORC-SSPs and Congressional activity related to funding NORC-SSPs. It then provides a brief summary of some issues for Congress to consider with regard to future funding of NORC-SSPs (supportive services programs). These issues include determining the target population for NORC-SSPs; establishing program standards and outcomes measures; the extent to which federal financing is appropriate and available; and, support for a national research agenda.
