Area Plan
Area Plan
All Area Agencies on Aging are required by the Older Americans Act to create a four-year Area Plan that addresses the needs of older adults, adults with disabilities and caregivers in their regions. The Area Plan is developed with broad public participation, including input from the Agency Board of Directors, Advisory Council, public surveys and through public hearings. The plan must be approved by the Office of Aging and Disability Services. Once approved, the plan serves as the basis for planning, development and evaluation of programs, services and advocacy efforts offered through Older Americans Act funding locally.
