Action Steps <br />Three-Year Plan <br />AGE-FRIENDLY REDWOOD CITY PAGE 15 <br />Many senior services changed or closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, so the <br />resource guide developed by the Senior Affairs Commission needed updating. The <br />new guide includes housing options, new methods of transportation, healthcare <br />services, and veterans services. It will be widely distributed through senior <br />programs, City Departments, local spiritual centers, and online. <br />1. Update the printed local resource guide for seniors. <br />Below are some of the City's goals for improvement for 2019-2022. These do not <br />capture all of our age-friendly activities, but highlight some key initiatives. <br />Adaptive Physical Education made a generous donation that will help redevelop our <br />annual Holiday Gift Giving Program and expand it to the unincorporated <br />neighborhoods of Redwood Shores and North Fair Oaks. Our Youth Advisory Board <br />made holiday cards, the Teen Advisory Board will be assisting with delivering the <br />gifts, and the VMSC walking group and staff will wrap the packages. These gifts are <br />meant to help reduce social isolation for seniors with limited resources. <br />2. Expand the Holiday Gift Giving Program. <br />3. Meet with stakeholders about aging and homelessness. <br />4. Collect responses to the transportation survey. <br />The Redwood City Senior Commission hosted a roundtable discussion on older <br />adult residents facing homelessness. The discussion included community <br />stakeholders including Street Life Ministries, Fair Oaks Community Center, San <br />Mateo County Aging and Adult Services Department, Ombudsman Program and <br />HIP Housing. <br />The City is in the process of finalizing a senior transportation survey, which will <br />collect information about older adults' transportation needs. We will need to <br />ensure there is broad participation across income levels, neighborhoods, age, and <br />health status to get an accurate picture of the needs in our community. <br />8.B. - Page 37 of 48 <br />94
