Senior/Community Center

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.

Tallahassee's age-friendly progress report shows the City's commitment to public transportation, walkability, aging in place and employment and volunteerism. The City worked to improve sidewalks, crosswalks and bus stops, with a focus on accessibility. They also offered public transit training to help residents navigate the local bus system. Additionally, they improved wayfinding signage to help people navigate around the community. The City is also working to expand home repair assistance programs to reach more older adults. They drafted development requirements for affordable housing construction and revised the zoning code to allow accessory dwelling units on single-family-home lots. Additionally, the City held a job and volunteering expo and is hoping to build a new senior center.
