About Area Agencies on Aging
In 1972, the Older Americans Act established Area Agencies on Aging. The goal is to help people live independently in their communities. We achieve this through a process that includes:
- assessment of community-specific needs
- service planning, and
- service delivery.
The Age Strong Commission, as an Area Agency on Aging, delivers some direct services, including information and direct help. We also partner with a network of nonprofit organizations across the City to meet the diverse needs of our vibrant community.
