ChaiVillageLA Informs the Reshaping of Los Angeles
|
I am thrilled to report that Barbara Meltzer, Sherrie Berlin and I are all serving on working groups to contribute to planning for an Age-Friendly future for LA as part of the Purposeful Aging Los Angeles Initiative (PALA). PALA “is a groundbreaking initiative and partnership, between the County and the City of Los Angeles, other cities, AARP, the private sector, and universities. The partnership…was formed to prepare the LA region for a dramatic demographic shift in the older adult population that will occur by 2030. PALA’s ultimate goal is to make the Los Angeles region the most age-friendly in the world.” (
