Your Voice in Oregon’s Next Chapter

In May 2026, Oregon received its Age-Friendly designation, marking an important milestone and starting the next phase: developing a Multi-Sector Plan for Aging (MPA). The MPA brings together efforts across health, housing, transportation, workforce, caregiving, long-term care, and other support systems. By working together, these areas can better help people at every stage of life. The goal is to make sure everyone in Oregon can age with dignity, connection, and opportunity.

We invite those ready to contribute expertise, lived experience, or leadership to visit the Shared Future Oregon website. You can sign up to join a committee that helps shape recommendations, guide statewide strategies, and turn goals into action.

We also welcome all Oregonians to visit the site and share your thoughts, stories, hopes, or concerns. Anyone, regardless of age, background, or perspective, can take part. The MPA succeeds when it includes the full diversity of our communities.

Go to the MPA website to learn more and to get involved!

Why AGE+?

People are living longer, which calls for new intergenerational strategies to value and care for older adults. Community networks are needed to fill in housing, mobility and caregiving gaps, especially for older adults who are isolated, low-income and underserved.

AGE+ empowers communities through stimulating partnerships, training and sponsoring innovative programs that address the challenges and opportunities facing aging in Oregon.
