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 affordable housing options by creating rent vouchers, more shared units, missing middle housing, and supporting the construction of ADUs and tiny homes.

  2. Transportation

    Increase transit options by reviewing existing networks, adding additional capacity to accommodate older adults, and increasing volunteer driving networks.

  3. Health and Community Services

    Collaborate with existing networks to expand the number of older adult caregivers.
