• Opportunity from AGE+ to work on the Multi-Sector Plan for Aging: 

• Oregon's population is changing, and we need to respond. People from communities and sectors across the state are coming together to work on the Multi-Sector Plan for Aging. As this work ramps up, your input is needed to help make sure things like housing, healthcare, and transportation work for everyone. This plan is about creating a future where all Oregonians feel welcome and supported.

  Share your ideas, expertise, stories, and hopes for Oregon’s future at SharedFutureOregon.org or by calling 503-683-2430. Please share this information widely in your community so more people can participate.
