Advocacy Update: Federal Progress on National Plan on Aging

The Administration for Community Living (ACL) is developing a Strategic Framework for a National Plan on Aging.

  • Active Involvement: VMC’s leadership is collaborating with Village-to-Village Network as part of a taskforce with leaders from across the country to craft a unified response.
  • Advocacy Efforts: Village advocates are working together to mirror California’s successful Master Plan for Aging drafting process, which included Villages as vital partners. By presenting a unified voice and common priorities from across the country, we increase the likelihood of our suggestions being included in the final report.
  • Next Steps: We are identifying common priorities, many of which are in our Village Movement Impact Report. In the coming weeks, and at our statewide conference on 912-13, we will share recommendations and information on how our villages, both as individuals and organizations, can provide stakeholder input.

Member Spotlight

ChaiVillageLA

ChaiVillageLA is the first synagogue-based village in the country, a bold partnership of two cutting-edge Los Angeles-area synagogues­—Temple Emanuel and Temple Isaiah—to challenge their congregants to rethink their paradigms of aging and use their accumulated experience, talents, wisdom and creativity to build a community of support, caring and enrichment. Being a faith-based village, ChaiVillageLA aligns itself with the values of its synagogues and the wider Jewish community.
