Our context xt fo for age-fri friendly endly work

Racial, ethnic and cultural diversity Economic diversity and disparity Varied experiences, needs, and priorities Fragmented landscape “Cities are ground zero for the demograp aphic shift t that is changing America a and the wo world.

Too many local leaders still

  • verlook the connection

between aging policies and their cities’ vitality and sustainability. Cities can take the lead to integrate older adults into policies and planning across multiple domains.”

“Age-friendly must be defined not as a new program or a new trend in service delivery but as a fundamental rethinking of how we live together.”

  • Kathryn Lawler, “Go Big or Go Home,”

Key Takea eaways: ys:

Commons lessons from m older r low-income me resident dents and resident dents of color, , includ udin ing immigra rants and refug ugee ees

  • General disconnect or lack of interest

in City programs/offerings

  • Most comfortable within their own

cultural groups.

  • Language matters. A lot.
  • Immigrants & refugees can be

vulnerable due to language and lack

  • f understanding about systems and

rights

Recom

  • mmend

ndati tions ns: : How

  • w does

s the City resp spond nd?

  • Allow staff additional time to develop relationships and

meaningfully engage people

  • Don’t create; facilitate. Support existing events/activities.
  • Better support and utilize partner organizations
  • Redefine what success looks like

A new lens, not just new services

Put an age-friendly lens on work that would be done anyway.

12/10/2019 19 City Hall remodeling project:

How do we make sure it works well for older visitors?

  • ADA isn’t enough.
  • How easily can people actually…

– Enter/exit the building? – Complete their business in the building? – Get the assistance they might need?

  • Consider seating: Where is it? Is it easy to sit down in and

get up from?

$26 mill. park bond referendum:

How do we make sure it works well for older residents?

  • Trails get better signage, lighting, and seating
  • Community Activity Center remodeled with

Universal Design principles

  • Neighborhood park redevelopments: make

appealing to older residents

Examples of BP’s support of

  • lder residents
  • Senior homeowner loan program for home
