Plan Today for a More Aging Friendly Community Tomorrow The communities we plan and build, and those we revitalize, must be livable communities for all ages.   Provide Housing Options for Every Age Universal design concepts will ensure that our housing meets the needs of every age and can easily be adapted.   Affordability An aging friendly Fairfax must address the affordability of housing programs and services to a segment of the population with limited resources.   Transportation Options Will Ensure Independence Transportation planning must include a wide range of mobility options and focus on the needs of older adults.   Engaged Older Adults Benefit Us All Fulfilling opportunities for engagement will ensure a vibrant community.   Diversity Build on strengths of our diverse population to enhance the cultural richness of our community and services.
