Action Plan Download

Teaneck developed this action plan to enhance its affordable housing stock and identify better housing options for older adults. The plan supports aging in place by helping older residents and landlords retrofit their properties to improve safety and accessibility, encourages banks to provide low-interest loans for home repairs, and identifies potential development sites for market rate and affordable housing.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Transportation

    Enhancing the mobility of older adults by conducting a walkability survey, hosting travel training, and working with the Township to improve the safety conditions of the pedestrian walkway network.

  2. Health and Community Services

    Partnering with our local medical center and other health and social services providers to host annual health and resource fair; Raising awareness of the value of older adults to the community.

  3. Communication and Information

    Educating older adults and caregivers about aging-in-place options through our website, print and electronic newsletters, a blog, and social media posts.
