The Center for Civic Partnerships has just released a new policy brief, "A Healthy Community Perspective on Aging Well: New Ideas for an Older California," featuring promising practices, strategies and resources that communities can use to improve the health and quality of life of older adults. Following an extensive review of the literature and interviews with nationally recognized programs, the brief opens with a "call to action" and features six case studies and a list of 35 strategies that community leaders and their partners can begin to work on immediately. Strategies focus on six thematic areas: Community Involvement, Varied Housing Options, Transportation, Employment, Lifelong Learning, and Supportive Services. An advisory group of state and national experts also contributed to the development of the brief.

A downloadable pdf, an expanded resource section, and a list of contributors is available on the Center's website (www.civicpartnerships.org).

A limited number of printed copies can be obtained by contacting the Center at (916) 646-8680 or ccp@civicpartnerships.org
