The City Will Engage Experts, Nonprofit Partners, Commissioners, and Stakeholders to Spearhead the Planning Process
The city of Santa Monica is embarking on a citywide initiative to bolster services for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and caregivers, propelled by a $200,000 grant from the California Department of Aging Local Aging & Disability Action Planning (LADAP) program.
This funding will kickstart the planning process for Santa Monica’s own age- and disability-friendly action plan, addressing current, emerging, and future needs of these communities.
The city will engage experts, nonprofit partners, commissioners, and stakeholders to spearhead the planning process. Opportunities for community input will be provided, with a draft plan slated for presentation to the City Council in early 2025.
The LADAP grant forms part of California’s Master Plan for Aging, underscoring the state’s dedication to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in preparing for demographic shifts over the next decade.
