Age-friendly community committee

Ordinance Chapter 2 - Article V. Division 7.

As our population ages and people stay healthy and active longer, communities must adapt. Well-designed, livable communities promote health and sustain economic growth, and they make for happier, healthier residents — of all ages.

In an effort to make Auburn an age-friendly community, which enables people of all ages to actively participate in activities and treats everyone with respect, regardless of their age, the City of Auburn is proud to have the Age-Friendly Community Committee. The goal is to make it easy for older people to stay connected to people that are important to them; and to stay connected to our community.

The purpose of the age friendly committee shall be:

(1)

To facilitate communication between leaders, consumers and providers that identify key issues for healthy aging communities;

(2)

To conduct impact evaluations and analyze the effectiveness of age-friendly programs; and

(3)

To make policy recommendations to the city council and advance initiatives that promote the health and social well-being of older adults.
