Every four years all Area Agencies on Aging around the country are required to develop an Area Plan. This outlines the course each agency plans to follow as they seek to create an age-friendly community. The plan provides an overview of how the agency plans to prioritize services and distribute funding, outlines budget information and available services, presents relevant demographic trends, and identifies the major goals and objectives to be achieved. This is revised every four years and updated every two. The final plan is submitted to the Department of Human Services.
Prior to the submission of the Area Plan and updates, South Coast Business must solicit and meaningfully consider the views of its Advisory Council and other community members, especially older individuals, family caregivers, service providers, and the public with a focus on those in greatest economic need and greatest social need.
