Community Action Plan on Aging
for Greater Williamsburg 2010-2020
The Community Action Plan on Aging (CAPOA) outlines the activities necessary to make the Greater Williamsburg Area a more livable community for seniors.
The plan was created through research, interviews and community forums. It has identified four issues for action:
1. Helping seniors and caregivers with Awareness of and Access to Resources
2. Focusing on the needs of Vulnerable Seniors, specifically those that are isolated and frail, have low incomes, and people with mental health issues
3. Designing neighborhoods to be age friendly through Housing and Neighborhood Support that includes neighbor-to-neighbor support, affordable housing and accessible housing
4. Recognizing Seniors as a Resource by valuing the contribution of seniors in the workplace and volunteer services and enhancing opportunities for their engagement in the community
Each issue is being addressed by a committee of action-oriented stakeholders, and new members are always welcome!
