Creating
strategies to develop viable, livable communities for aging Hoosiers
means getting creative with the ways you engage partners, implement
plans, and achieve positive change. That's why we're getting creative
this fall with a new approach to an Aging in Place training.
October 9-10, Bloomington, IN:
Using concepts firmly rooted in comprehensive community
development, an interdisciplinary group of planners, public officials,
neighborhood leaders, developers, public health experts and others,
will spend two days creating a model Lifetime Community District (LCD)
surrounding the Bloomington "B-Line" trail. An
LCD is a zoning and public policy innovation created to
incentivize and influence community development and redevelopment
initiatives that promote livability for all ages and abilities.
We will be offering a "virtual experience" for
those wanting to follow the Bloomington group's activities. Stay tuned
for those details.
October
11, Indianapolis, IN:
After Days 1 and 2, we will bring together community
development practitioners like you to introduce the myriad
strategies that communities can develop to enable elders and others to
thrive in communities that support physical, mental, and social health.
In this year's session, participants will focus on the policy
implications surrounding housing and mobility issues, with special
attention to creating environments that bring together old and young
persons for their mutual benefit. Also, participants will provide input
on the planning group's previous two days and learn more about how
Lifetime Community Districts can transform cities, towns, and
neighborhoods.
Cost: IACED Members - $20; Non-Members - $30. Parking is
free, and breakfast, lunch, and afternoon drinks will be provided. This
training is made possible in part by the Indiana Housing and Community
Development Authority.
