Action Plan Download
Sheboygan developed its action plan by first acknowledging that the city was facing a shifting demographic profile and changing position within the region. Recognizing the importance of inclusion, the plan focuses on livability rather than "age-friendliness," and works to promote positive attributes towards aging through collaboration, advocacy, partnerships, effective communication, and engagement.
Action Plan Highlights
-
Housing
Reduce social isolation and promote aging in place by creating and publicizing activities that encourage connections between older adults and their communities, helping them remain in their homes. -
Civic Participation and Employment
Encourage lifelong learning and volunteerism by partnering with universities and non-profits to develop educational programs and a volunteer center.
