Abstract
The 2015 White House Conference on Aging identifies “creating and supporting communities that are age-friendly” as an important way to support health, vigor, and aging in place in the community. To continue to help translate this promising idea into effective action, this article seeks to summarize research, practice, and policy on community initiatives from the field of aging and beyond. It addresses questions regarding the ways in which communities can affect healthy aging, what age-friendly community initiatives (AFCIs) are, and an overview of past and potential efforts within the U.S. government to support community change processes on behalf of our rapidly aging society.
