Year: 2023

The Purposeful Aging Los Angeles Phase II (PALA), starting January 1, 2022, is the continuation of an age-friendly initiative through intergovernmental partnership led by the County of Los Angeles, the City of Los Angeles, and key external stakeholders to prepare the Los Angeles region for a rapidly aging population. PALA unites public and private leadership, resources, ideas and strategies. PALA connects older adults, community organizations, experts, service providers and County and City departments together to build relationships, promote cooperation, and enhance coordination. PALA priorities focus on the 8 Domains of Livability that will make Los Angeles become more livable for both older residents and Angelenos of all ages. By sharing best practices, identifying gaps, and advocating for older people on issues ranging from connectivity, housing, emergency preparedness, and social isolation, PALA aims to better serve the large, diverse, and growing aging population of Los Angeles.
