Leading the Way for Age-Friendly Communities!
We did it! The County of Santa Clara has become the first county in the United States to have all its cities join the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-friendly Cities and Communities.
Marin, San Mateo, and Monterey Counties have all looked to the County of Santa Clara as a model for success as they also work toward becoming Age-friendly. In addition to our 15 cities, there are now ten other cities in the Bay Area that are designated as Age-friendly.
Achieving the Age-friendly designation through planning, engaging, and working collaboratively with 15 individual municipalities is an unparalleled accomplishment. However, now the work really begins. The Seniors’ Agenda program team will continue to work with the cities to offer support and guidance as each community implements their respective projects to enhance and support Age-friendly efforts that will benefit all. This report offers a glimpse into those efforts as we celebrate this monumental achievement.
