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. Housing

    Increase the supply of housing by encouraging innovations in zoning to allow for additional ADU and shared housing options.

  2. Health and Community Services

    Coordinate with trained volunteers and former healthcare professionals to deliver home healthcare, while providing social services through new health systems.

  3. Housing

    Create more spaces for social interactions in and near housing developments, particularly in parts of the city that are park deficient.
