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

    Increase on-demand transportation services and work to inform older adults and people with disabilities about their transportation options through travel trainings.

  2. Housing

    Develop and promote co-housing options. Provide incentives for tiny home and accessory dwelling unit construction to improve housing access, affordability and sustainability.

  3. Health and Community Services

    Coordinate emergency preparedness efforts that consider the needs of older adults and people with disabilities during disasters and when evacuations are necessary.
