Working to ensure older adults have access to technology tools that keep them connected. Currently, we are running a pilot project to provide tablets, Wi-Fi, and technology training for older adults in Central Texas.

This initiative focuses on addressing the intersection of homelessness and aging through collaboration and resource sharing.

Goals include:

Educating service providers about available resources for aging and homelessness.

Stimulating collaboration between organizations to address resource gaps.

Exploring and developing housing options for individuals aged 50+ experiencing homelessness.

Facilitating interagency brainstorming on specific client issues.

Collecting and mapping resource data.

The Aging Services Council’s Emergency Preparedness Committee is dedicated to equipping older adults and caregivers with the knowledge and tools needed to prepare for unexpected events, from natural disasters to personal emergencies. Recognizing that older adults face unique challenges during crises, we have developed a range of resources to ensure their safety, well-being, and resilience in times of uncertainty.

The Aging Services Council advocates for policies that impact older adults and caregivers at the city, county, and state levels. Through education and outreach, we aim to influence decision-makers to prioritize the needs of aging communities.

The Aging Services Council of Central Texas is committed to raising awareness, educating the community, and building partnerships to address the diverse needs of older adults and their caregivers. Through strategic outreach initiatives, we work to ensure that critical information, resources, and support systems are accessible to all, fostering a more inclusive and compassionate community for aging individuals.
