Application Assignment #4
Read through California’s Master Plan on Aging. The beginning introduction can help you understand the importance of these issues and give you great citations to use in both this and your paper(s)!
https://mpa.aging.ca.gov/ (Goals main page)
https://www.aging.ca.gov/download.ashx?lE0rcNUV0zYXf9JtT7jkAg%3d%3d (Goals pg 11)

Choose one of the bold goals listed on the main page of the website or page 11 of the PDF and skip down to the pages that cover that goal and read them.
Summarize the goal, the importance of it (using citations!), and some of the ways this plan suggests we improve this issue for older adults.
Pretend you are on the committee for achieving this goal. Write a paragraph with suggestions for things they should consider (if not mentioned already), with tangible resources that might help. For example, if you are talking about Goal 1 and they mention making outdoor spaces for all ages you could refer to this document as a toolbox for creating age-friendly communities for older adults: https://www.giaging.org/documents/130402_GIA_AFC_Primer.pdf ; or this as a suggestion of a tangible action to take: http://www.walkable.org/download/walking_audits.pdf
