On May 30, ACL released “Aging in the United States: A Strategic Framework for a National Plan on Aging.”
The Strategic Framework captures the opportunities and challenges created by the aging of the U.S. population and defines goals and objectives for addressing critical aging issues. It provides a road map for developing a national plan on aging that will advance best practices for service delivery, support development and strengthening of partnerships within and across sectors, identify solutions for removing barriers to health and independence for older adults, and more.
The Strategic Framework was developed by leaders and experts from 16 federal agencies and departments working together through the Interagency Coordinating Committee (ICC) on Healthy Aging and Age-Friendly Communities, with support from community partners and leaders in the aging services network. In the coming months, the ICC and its partners will engage with stakeholders nationwide to explore the opportunities and issues in the Strategic Framework and inform the development of the national plan on aging.
We are pleased to share the first national public input opportunity from individuals and organizations on the Strategic Framework and key aging issues. By completing a short online survey, you can help shape the national plan on aging.
Please make your voice heard and spread the word to help elevate the voices of older adults in your community.
