Countywide Area Plan for Older Adults: Your Plan, Your Voice - You're Invited!

Every four years, the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) prepares a Countywide Area Plan for Older Adults (CWAP) that strategizes decisions, partnerships, and improvements throughout Alameda County for residents aged 55+. The services are provided by the AAA along with our network of community partners, which include the Advisory Commission on Aging, community-based organizations, public agencies, and the private sector. 

Thank You Alameda County! Older adults in Alameda County, people who care about them, and those wondering what your life as a senior will look like - you have made a big difference! 

We received over 3,500 responses in seven languages from Alameda County residents aged 55+, and were inspired by your lively discussions at our public forums and public hearing. You have helped to create an area plan that reflects your needs, your vision, and your perspective.

Alameda County's 2024-2028 CWAP has been approved by the State of California. But the conversation doesn't end there. We update you each year on the progress we're making, and you update us on how we're doing and what else you'd like to see.

Come to Our Public Hearing - and Housewarming!

We will be especially delighted to welcome you to the public hearing for this year's Area Plan Update, because it will be a sort of housewarming for our new offices, which we share with the new stand-alone County Veterans Services Office!
