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.
