Neighborhood Associations

Help neighborhood associations become trusted connectors for older adults and strong local partners in a citywide seniors network.

A stronger city begins block by block.

Neighborhood associations already understand local places, people, and priorities. With senior-friendly outreach, useful information, and strong referral relationships, they can help older adults stay connected while bringing local concerns into broader civic action.
