Aging and Disability Action Plan
OPEN CALL: Submit a Statement of Interest to join the Action Plan Advisory Committee online or by phone (310) 458-2200 x. 5771. Statements are due by October 7, 2024 at 12:00PM.
Santa Monica is developing a citywide action plan to enhance services for older adults, people with disabilities and caregivers. We are building the plan in partnership with YOU - the Santa Monica community - thanks to a California Department of Aging Local Aging and Disability Action Planning (LADAP) grant and with support from the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.
In the coming months, the City will create its own age-and disability-friendly action plan to address the current, emerging and future needs of Santa Monica’s older adults, people with disabilities and their caregivers. The direction of Santa Monica’s plan will be guided by the Action Plan Advisory Committee and a thorough community engagement process - and this is where you come in… we invite you to get involved!
Action Alert! Submit a Statement of Interest to join the Action Plan Advisory Committee by October 7, 2024.
We are recruiting community stakeholders to be committee members, including: older adults, people with disabilities, caregivers, and industry professionals (current/retired). People who represent related fields are also encouraged to apply, including public policy, health and social services, financial services, philanthropy, non-profit management, and diversity, equity and inclusion. We are seeking to create an Advisory Committee that reflects the diversity of our community – individuals from a diversity of backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
Statements are due by Oct 7, 2024 at 12:00pm. Submit Online (English - other languages coming soon), or by phone (310) 458-2200 x. 5771 (all languages).
