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

    Ensure accessibility though braille wayfinding signage, audible route announcements at bus stops and tactile surfaces where sidewalks meet crosswalks.

  2. Housing

    Help residents age in place by promoting cohousing, offering eviction prevention assistance and designing accessible housing options, including "dementia villages."
