Age-Friendly Taskforce/Advisory Council/Commission

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.

Completed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, Wilton Manor's progress report describes successes related to affordable housing production, pandemic supports and information about community resources. The City supported a housing development with support services for LGBTQ+ older adults through its affordable housing trust fund. To support South Florida residents during the COVID-19 pandemic, the City set up a vaccination center and coordinated food assistance to families in need. Based on feedback from residents, the City also created a guide describing resources and programming for older adults, including transportation options, recreational opportunities and local nonprofit organizations.
