Action Plan Download

An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Transportation

    Expand bus routes, shuttle services and rideshare options for older adults, residents with disabilities and caregivers.

  2. Housing

    Create a city grant program to fund home accessibility modifications for older adults and people with disabilities.

  3. Health and Community Services

    Offer food and nutrition assistance programs.
