Additionally, the toolkit provides step-by-step guides for conducting three key data-gathering activities including resident surveys, public forums, and focus groups. Each guide contains specific instructions, examples, and checklists to use when performing such activities. These tools can be accessed through the main toolkit along with useful resources and case studies of communities that have successfully implemented, or are working to establish, aging well planning processes.<br /> <br /> Other report highlights include:<br /> City of Kirkland, Washington – this case study features Kirkland, Washington and what the city has done to support human and social services for older adults and multigenerational families in the community during the deep recession.

Rather than taking the obvious path of cutting budgets for parks and other community services, the City of Kirkland and the five surrounding cities increased funding of these services by $5.7 million in fiscal year 2009-2010. After making these investments, the city saw noticeable improvements in the community including a strengthened social network and increased activity in the local economy.<br /> City of Hayward, California – this case study features Hayward, California and its South Hayward BART Transit Village, a residential mixed-used development intended to better meet the needs of all community residents regardless of age.
