The federal government would create a new Office of Social Connection Policy to develop and coordinate a national strategy aimed at reducing loneliness and strengthening community connections among Americans. This office would work across government agencies to identify programs and policies that promote social engagement and address the health impacts of social isolation. The effort would affect Americans of all ages by potentially influencing how federal programs support community building and mental health initiatives.
