The Commission on Aging implements the Aging Readiness Plan and initiated an update to the plan in fall of 2022
VANCOUVER – The Clark County Aging Readiness Plan assesses the county’s readiness to serve as a home for a growing number of older residents. The plan was approved in 2012 and includes strategies to improve the community’s capacity to support its growing older population and ultimately benefit all ages.
The Commission on Aging implements the Aging Readiness Plan and initiated an update to the plan in fall of 2022. The update will refresh the plan to address changes in the last 10 years, update the data and maps in the document, and ensure new technologies and services are incorporated. The plan update will also add a new health and safety chapter, focusing on emergency preparedness, a topic that is not currently covered in the plan.
The county will hold public workshops to help assess implementation and refine strategies in the existing plan and brainstorm new policy ideas for the update of the plan. The workshops will be interactive and will concentrate on the topical focus areas of the plan including housing, community engagement, supportive services, healthy communities, transportation, and emergency management.
The commission will host the workshops at the following times and locations:
Workshop #1: Strategy Feedback and Brainstorm. Attend one of the following:
Jan. 18, 2023, 4:30-6 p.m., in-person event at Public Service Center
