Countywide Area Plan for Older Adults:
Your Plan, Your Voice!

Every four years, the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) prepares a Countywide Area Plan for Older Adults (CWAP) that strategizes decisions, investments, 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. 

Mark Your Calendar: If you're an older adult in Alameda County, care about someone who is, or are wondering what your life as a senior will look like, you can make a difference! Note the following dates:

  • 4/25/24 - draft CWAP will be available for your review on this page and;
  • 5/6/24 - Comment on the plan at a public hearing at 2pm at the San Leandro Community Library, 300 Estudillo Ave., San Leandro, CA 94577. Download the flyer. (Flyer will also be available shortly in Spanish and Cantonese.) 

Don't have time to read the CWAP draft before the hearing? No problem! We still want to see you there and share ideas for bringing Alameda County closer to our goals as an Age Friendly Community. 

Survey update: Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2024-2028 CWAP Survey (now closed). We received close to 4,000 responses from Alameda County residents aged 55+. You have helped to create an area plan that reflects your needs, your vision, and your perspective.

CWAP Public Forums: Thanks to our Board of Supervisors and everyone in the community who participated in our five public forums about the CWAP (one in each County district). If you missed them or want to refresh your memory, you can watch the recordings:
District 1 (12/7/23)
District 2 (11/13/23) - available shortly
District 3 (12/6/23) - available shortly
District 4 (1/12/24) 
District 5 (10/30/23) - available shortly

Background: The CWAP's direction is steered by a committee that includes representatives from community-based organizations, cities, consumers, academics, and other stakeholders. Planning also includes multiple departments within Alameda County, including the Social Services Agency, Health Care Services Agency, Public Health, Behavioral Health Department, and other agencies.
