Age-Friendly Silicon Valley (AFSV)

The World Health Organization (WHO) created a template to help communities meet the challenge of transforming our streets, services, parks and playgrounds— and our attitudes and feelings— to accommodate the growing population of elderly people. For the first time ever, older people outnumber the young in the U.S.; by 2030, one in four Santa Clara County residents will be over the age of 60.

This county-wide effort was led by the Seniors’ Agenda of Santa Clara County, Department of Aging and Adult Services, and assisted each of the 15 cities in Santa Clara County in achieving designation by the World Health Organization as an age-friendly city.
