Arlington Heights developed its action plan after a feasibility study to determine the areas of need in the community. The initiative advocates for more affordable housing, accessible transportation and a central source of community information through village staff and community partners. Additionally, the age-friendly team will host monthly townhalls on aging related topics to both educate residents and get feedback on existing and future programs.

Provide more safe, clean, and affordable housing units through a new village ordinance.Transportation
Increase awareness of existing transportation options for older adults and people with disabilities through marketing initiatives and a community resource directory/web page.Communication and Information
Create a central source of internet accessible community information to connect older adults with village services and village partner's strong network of providers and resources.
