Program

As part of the Aging in Place Initiative, the City of Miami, Florida, was selected by MetLife Foundation, Partners for Livable Communities and the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging to host one of several national workshops on creating livable communities for all ages.

This workshop, hosted by the Alliance for Aging, the Florida Department of Elder Affairs, the Health Council of South Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation, the Dade Community Foundation, and the Office of the Miami-Dade Mayor, was an invaluable opportunity for Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties to address the issues of Aging in Place and overall livability. Both local and national speakers shared their expertise and moderate constructive conversation on preparing the region for an increase in its senior population.  Workshop participants applied for small grants to support innovative ideas that further the agenda of increasing transportation and mobility options.
