Background

The New Beginning Coalition’s Strategic Plan for Services for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities for 2000-2005 (Strategic Plan) is the long-range plan for the continuum of services to meet the needs of San Mateo County’s older adults and adults with disabilities. The Plan serves as a countywide umbrella for all plans regarding older adults and adults with disabilities in the county, including the Area Agency on Aging (AAA) Plan required by the California Department of Aging (CDA) to receive Older Americans Act (OAA) and Community-Based Services Program (CBSP) funding. The San Mateo County Board of Supervisors officially adopted the Strategic Plan for 2000-2005 on August 21, 2001.

The Year-End Report is contained within the Strategic Plan for Services for Older Adults and Adults with Disabilities, which contributes to this commitment and goal by providing a countywide blueprint for a coordinated system of care for these two populations.
