New Website for "Aging in Place" The Community Innovations for Aging in Place (CIAIP) initiative was funded by the ACL Administration on Aging from 2009 to 2012. It provided 14 grantee organizations around the country an opportunity to test strategies to facilitate aging in place for older adults in their communities. The new CIAIP website contains valuable information that will be of interest to funders and community-based organizations planning to develop initiatives to ensure that older adults in their communities have access to the programs and services they need to successfully age in place. |
