Executive Summary Page 10 The City of San Leandro’s Age-Friendly Action Plan is the culmination of a process driven by the passion and advocacy of its Senior Commission since 2018. Through their efforts, the City now has a five-year roadmap, spanning July 2024 through June 2029, outlining the work still to be done to make our city a more livable place for its older adults. And in doing so, we will ultimately create a community that is better able to support residents of all ages. Starting in November 2023, the Senior Commission and Human Services Department embarked on a 6-months-long community outreach and engagement process to hear directly from residents about the age-friendly actions and changes they would prioritize. With support from the City’s Public Information Office, the planning team found creative ways to raise awareness about the new initiative and its engagement opportunities, such as posting eye-catching videos featuring older residents on social media, publishing op-eds in the San Leandro Times and local Spanish-language publications, presenting to City Commissions and civic organizations like the Rotary Club, and setting up interactive displays at community centers, libraries, local businesses and nonprofits. Through listening sessions and a community-wide survey, we collected and analyzed the priorities and preferences of hundreds of San Leandrans, representing a diversity of backgrounds, ages, genders, races, ethnicities, and incomes. This community input was the single most important factor driving the Senior Commission’s final recommendations outlined in this plan. To be responsive to what they heard from the community, the Senior Commission and City staff have prioritized thirteen (13) distinct projects across six (6) priority areas. Each project is accompanied by specific action steps to achieve it. We welcome you to explore our vision for an Age-Friendly San Leandro. City of San Leandro | Age-Friendly Action Plan
