The Tacoma City Council adopted the Age Friendly Tacoma Action Plan on December 7
The Age Friendly Tacoma Action Plan highlights four of the eight domains of livability established by AARP that will be the priority focus for the City over the next few years. The plan also guides staff to include specific age-friendly measures and metrics in other planning documents to ensure there is a policy lens focused on the needs of our more experienced residents.
With the adoption of the plan, staff will begin working on implementation.
Four Years of Transformation
We have been at the center of the City of Tacoma’s commitment to transform government, and anchor it in anti-racist practices and policies. Ultimately this work is rooted in meeting the essential needs, advance the well-being and help everyone in Tacoma achieve their full potential.
Since 2017, We Have:
- Deepened the efforts toward transforming every aspect of city government in pursuit of strategic, systemic change and made significant progress in collaboration with every government department and at Tacoma Public Utilities.
- Led every department in developing a Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP) and building in accountability measures to these plans to assure transformation.
Introduced a set of strategies to retain Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) employees and to identify and invest in BIPOC leadership which will be adopted by the City in the 2021-22 biennium.
- Partnered with Tacoma Public Utilities to lead a transformation at TPU driven by equity.
- Worked with an Equity Advisory team and with the Executive Committee at TPU to make this transformation a reality.
Our Work is Centered on an Equity and Empowerment Framework with Five Primary Goals.
Since 2016 we have accomplished and advanced efforts in all of these areas.
