Aging Initiative

The Aging Initiative is a multi-year NGA Center project supported by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to help states respond to the ever evolving needs of America's aging population. The initiative will highlight best practices and policy strategies that will enable states to:

  • encourage long-term care and retirement income planning among individuals;
  • promote "elder-friendly" communities;
  • develop a skilled workforce of home health and nursing aides, nurses, doctors and other specialists to meet the needs of an aged population.

Components of the Aging Initiative will include:

  • Reports and policy briefs;
  • Regional forums; and
  • Customized technical assistance.

The Aging Initiative is made possible through the generous support of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
