The Department of Human Services (DHS) recently released an Age-Friendly Blueprint, which provides strategies and best practices to improve communities for older adults and enable people to remain in their communities as they age.
DHS also announced the dedication of $5.5 million to launch an Age-Friendly Community Grant Program to help communities advance Age-Friendly practices, prioritizing those in the Blueprint. The grant program is expected to launch later this year.
The League hosted the Department of Human Services for a Lunch & Learn on this topic in March 2023. The Lunch & Learn Zoom and the slides are available for viewing.
For more information on the Age-Friendly Blueprint, please see the DHS announcement.
