shared future oregon:

a multi-sector plan for aging

This is THE Moment to Build on Our Interconnectedness + Strength

Oregon is at a crossroads as its population ages rapidly. Today, there are more Oregonians 65+ than under 18. This shift will drive up demand for care, housing, transportation, and age-friendly resources, exposing gaps in the state’s preparedness. But with the right plan and by investing in supports that benefit all ages, the state can build age-ready systems while leveraging the skills and experience of older adults to turn this challenge into an opportunity to build stronger communities for every generation. This is why we need a multi-sector plan for aging (MPA).

In May 2026, Oregon received its Age-Friendly designation! Oregon’s MPA will drive this work, bringing together government, communities, and partners to align services across health, housing, workforce, transportation, and other support systems. It will reflect the collective voice of statewide community champions, local business leaders, and organizations (large and small) whose work touches the lives of everyone in Oregon. The goal is to create an MPA to align systems and advance measurable impact so all Oregonians can age with dignity, connection, and opportunity. With state partnership and coordinated public-private leadership, the groundwork has been laid and we are stepping into the next phase of planning.
