SHAPE the Future of Aging is a strategic plan to make Fairfax County a better place to age

SHAPE the Future of Aging is a strategic plan to make Fairfax County a better place to age, for older adults to live safely, independently, and with dignity. SHAPE is an acronym that includes five areas of focus:

• Services for Older Adults and Family Caregivers
• Housing and Neighborhood Supports
• Access to Mobility Options
• Personal Well-Being
• Economic Stability and Planning

The SHAPE the Future of Aging plan is aligned with the Fairfax County Strategic Plan and OneFairfax to address the needs of older adults as we plan for the future. The SHAPE the Future of Aging Plan was adopted by the Board of Supervisors in May 2023.
Initiative Development Committees focused on each of the SHAPE categories will be developed and led by the Fairfax Area Commission on Aging in the coming months.
