Two virtual community forums were held in July and August 2024 focused on various topics such as, Services for Older Adults and Family Caregivers, Housing and Neighborhood Supports, Access to Mobility Options, Personal Well-being, and Economic Stability and Planning.
Read the August 2024 Summary of Community Forums for Older Adults with Disabilities and Caregivers.
These community forums were part of an initiative in the SHAPE the Future of Aging Plan, a strategic plan to make Fairfax County a better place to age, for older adults to live safely, independently, and with dignity. Information collected during the forums will be used to inform the Board of Supervisors of the issues faced by the community. The information may also be used to help develop future FA-DSB initiatives. This is an opportunity to share your thoughts and get directly involved.
Details about an additional community forum planned for October 20, 2025, will be shared in the fall of 2025.
The Fairfax Area Disability Services Board (FA-DSB) is seeking community input to identify systemic gaps in service and/or barriers Fairfax County residents with disabilities face. The next community forum will be scheduled in Fall 2025. Stay tuned for additional details.
