The work of the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) and the Marin County Commission on Aging (MCCoA), the AAA’s federally mandated advisory council, is guided by the 2019 AAA Older Adults Needs Assessment.

Join us to hear about the goals of the Marin County Area Plan:

• Actively advocate for the needs of older adults at local, state, and federal level.

• Pursue opportunities to improve access to information, assistance, and resources to achieve greater equity among older adults in Marin.

• Reinforce the important role of the social determinants which factor into the health and well-being of older adults.

• Promote and lead efforts that create and maintain age-friendly, livable communities in Marin.

In June 2019, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order calling for the creation of a Master Plan for Aging (MPA) which is designed enhance the health and well-being of older Californians and create policies that promote healthy aging.

The Master Plan for Aging outlines the goals and strategies needed to build a California for All Ages by 2030. Significant progress has been made to advance the 5 Bold Goals of the MPA:

• Housing for All Stages and Ages

• Health Reimagined

• Inclusion and Equity, Not Isolation
