California Demands More Options for Aging Well

Moderate and middle-income Californians have few options for aging with self determination—even though they comprise the largest population of those 65+ in age.

Villages and their members need a change agent, an advocacy organization that can work with the state and local policymakers to develop policies and programs that ensure that all Californians can choose from options for aging support that fit their needs and desires.

Village Movement California is working with the statewide and local senior services networks, stakeholders and policymakers to raise awareness of the village model and garner their support for funding, legislation, and programs to support it.
