Thursday May 5, 2022

11:00am at Oaks Enrichment Center – 306 N. Franks Ave., Sturgis

 

The Branch-St. Joseph Area Agency on Aging is holding a Public Input Forum in each county of the planning and service area as a way to gather input and ideas for our 2023-2025 Multi-Year Area Plan (MYP) and the 2023 Annual Implementation Plan (AIP)

Community input from this Forum will be included in these extensive documents and ultimately have an impact on:

• How state and federal resources are utilized

• What types of services and supports are available

• Advocacy strategies

• Development of new programs and initiatives

The MYP & AIP are documents written for submission to the Bureau of Aging, Community Living and Supports under the authority of the Older Americans Act and the Older Michiganians Act.

** The Input Forums are being held in honor of Older Americans Month 2022**

Every May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month. In 2022, ACL will be focusing on aging in place – how older adults can plan to stay in their homes and live independently in their communities for as long as possible. The 2022 theme is “Age My Way”, an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities.
