Opportunity to shape Oregon's State Plan on Aging

APD is updating its State Plan on Aging. This plan guides how older adults, their families, and unpaid caregivers are supported through programs funded by the Older Americans Act (OAA) in Oregon.

The current State Plan is in place until September 2026. APD must create a new plan and send it to the federal Administration on Aging for review and approval by July 1, 2026. The new plan will be in place from October 2026 through September 2030.
