2025-2029 Older Americans Act State Plan

What Is the Older Americans Act State Plan?

Each year, the federal government gives California funding for programs authorized by the Older Americans Act (OAA) and related federal legislation. OAA programs, which are operated by local Area Agencies on Aging, provide vital services for older adults including, but not limited to nutrition, health and wellness, caregiver support, and much more.

To receive funding, California must submit a State Plan on Aging to the federal government every four years that identifies specific goals related to OAA programs.

The goals identified within the State Plan include:

  • Goal 1: Enhance Outreach, Information and Assistance
  • Goal 2: Increase Opportunities to Age-in-Place in Home and Community-Based Settings
  • Goal 3: Prevent Isolation, Promote Inclusion, and Advocate for Elder Justice
  • Goal 4: Strengthen Partnerships
  • Goal 5: Advance Strategies to Improve Financial Security and Economic Support
  • Goal 6: Support Aging Services Providers Statewide
