Empowering older adults in Central Texas to live healthy, safe, and fulfilling lives, fully integrated into the communities they helped build.
-
The Aging Services Council of Central Texas was born from a collaborative effort in 2001 when key stakeholders—including United Way Capital Area, St. David's Foundation, Travis County Health and Human Services, Veterans Service, and the Community Action Network—conducted a landmark community assessment to understand the needs of older adults in Austin and Travis County. A community forum was held to address the findings of this comprehensive report, and in 2003, the Aging Services Council was officially formed to take action.
