We will try to understand the specific needs of senior participant groups and align existing/new programming opportunities with the new facility's capabilities. The Commission will create a needs assessment report and offer proposed programming adjustments for the new center to assess the building’s performance, functionality, and user satisfaction after 4 months of operation. The SAC will gather qualitative and quantitative feedback from participants in an engaging manner by incorporating an interactive poll into a Commission meeting or other appropriate forum. The FY 2025-26 and FY 2026-27 SAC Work Plan is provided as Attachment D. EQUITY IMPACT STATEMENT The SAC prioritized equity when developing senior-focused goals, recognizing that achieving full equity is an ongoing process. When strategizing about housing and homelessness, the SAC realized there are also Home-based seniors who also need services. The Commission decided to add the term “Home-Based” seniors as part of Housing on the strategic priority list. The SAC aimed for accessibility and inclusion by planning for resources in different languages and non- digital formats including printed resources. The goal was to enable all seniors’ accessibility to the vast amount of housing information that the community has to offer. In creating a goal around senior mobility and transportation, the SAC also made conscious efforts to consider the input for the non-digitally native seniors. The SAC planned to mix digital and traditional outreach methods, enabling all seniors to access mobility information, irrespective of their technological skills or access. In intergenerational programs, the VMSC staff and the SAC have observed a powerful mutual understanding blossom between teens and seniors. Through their interactions, young people readily share their technological skills and knowledge, while seniors offer invaluable life stories and experiences. This exchange not only fosters empathy and patience in the younger participants but also creates a rich environment for learning and connection across generations. The SAC is committed to ensuring seniors in Redwood City have the opportunity for a fulfilling, dignified life, regardless of their circumstances; this commitment to equity was a critical consideration in developing our goals. FISCAL IMPACT Staff time is required to administer the work plan and to assist the SAC in achieving its goals. It is not anticipated that any additional budget appropriation will be required. 8.B. - Page 7 of 48 64
