Yesterday, ACL released a new report, Aging in the United States: A Strategic Framework for a National Plan on Aging, through its Interagency Coordinating Committee on Healthy Aging and Age-Friendly Communities (ICC). The report provides a framework for collaboration among entities at the federal, state and local levels, and the public and private sector, to inform a future national set of aging policy recommendations.  

The report highlights four core domains: Age-Friendly Communities, Coordinated Housing and Supportive Services, Increased Access to Long-Term Services and Supports and Aligned Health Care and Supportive Services. Each domain covers numerous focus areas, including social connection, transportation, elder justice and many more. The report also details how the federal government is working towards fulfilling these goals and features states that are implementing their own multisector plans on aging.   
 
In the coming months, the ICC will engage with stakeholders across the nation for feedback on the Strategic Framework and a national plan on aging. ACL will host a public webinar providing an overview of the report on June 10 at 2:00 PM ET; you can register by clicking here.
