Washington County Disability, Aging and Veteran Services (DAVS) is seeking public input on its four-year strategic plan. DAVS is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Washington County. In accordance with the Older Americans Act, each Area Aging on Aging must develop an area plan and provide annual updates to the Oregon Department of Human Services.
The 2025-2029 Area Plan is available for the public to review on Washington County’s website.
The area plan is comprehensive and lengthy. If time is limited, DAVS recommends focusing on Section C: Focus Areas, Goals and Objectives, which describes the key issues, programs and services DAVS provides and administers in Washington County. This section outlines the goals and objectives developed in response to extensive community engagement, which is described in Section A. Detailed work plans for nutrition, information and referral, family caregiver support, and veteran services can be found in this section.
“Hearing from the community about our plan is an important part of the process,” DAVS Supervisor Rebecca Miller said. “We invite everyone who calls Washington County home to spend some time with the plan and let us know what they think.”
DAVS is offering two opportunities to learn more and provide feedback on DAVS’ plan for navigating aging and veteran resources, elder abuse prevention, support for unpaid family caregivers, nutrition and more.
- January 16 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., virtual or in-person at DAVS, 5240 NE Elam Young Parkway, Suite 300, Hillsboro, OR 97124 or via Microsoft Teams
- February 6 from 8:30-10 a.m., in-person only at DAVS
Visit the Washington County website for the Teams link or to provide feedback on the plan via email. All comments are due by February 13, 2025.
