The Metropolitan Mayors Caucus and Planning/Aging are pleased to announce that applications are now open for our Aging in a Changing Region program
The Aging in a Changing Region program builds intersectional linkages between municipalities, their physical environment, human resources and elected leadership, aging network stakeholders, and planning and community development partners, in support of municipality-specific Aging-in-Community strategies. At the core of the Aging in a Changing Region’s community engagements are public workshops where community residents share their lived experiences and ideas in open facilitated discussions.
The Aging in a Changing Region team is committed to expanding the Aging-in-Community practice to a diverse set of communities – diverse in their geography, their demographic and socioeconomic character, their community type, and their level of previous involvement with Aging-in-Community – and we are proud to have worked with these municipalities:
- 2021 Cohort: Bensenville, Calumet City, Hawthorn Woods, Mount Prospect, and Park Forest.
- 2022 Cohort: Bellwood/Broadview (participated jointly), Highland Park, Maywood, Richton Park, and Yorkville.
- If your community would like to participate in the 2023 cohort, please fill out the Aging in a Changing Region Workshop Application by Friday, March 17th.
More information about the Aging in a Changing Region program may be found at: Aging in a Changing Region – Mayors Caucus.
The Aging in a Changing Region initiative is generously supported by the RRF Foundation for Aging. For more information about how your community can get involved, please contact Crispina Ojeda Simmons, cojeda@mayorscaucus.org.
