specific topics, such as age-friendly, livable communities or age wave initiatives, collaborations with the
Office of the Attorney General (OAG) of Virginia, engagement in local or regional emergency preparedness
activities, and supports for LGBTQ older adults. Lastly, in accordance with state law, § 51.5-136 of the
Code of Virginia, DARS also collected reports from Virginia's state agencies on aging's impact on the
agencies and how the agencies are responding to identified impacts.
On March 13, 2019, also with the support of the CCOA, DARS hosted a stakeholder meeting and public
comment on the draft Virginia State Plan for Aging Services. Among those in attendance were: state agen-
cies; advocates and community organizations; state universities involved in aging, health or caregiving-
related initiatives; provider associations; and representatives from the DARS advisory committees. At the
meeting, stakeholders provided public comment and feedback on the draft plan. Written public com-
ments on the draft plan were also received throughout the month of March. Full comment summaries can
be found at: https://www.vda.virginia.gov/stateplans.htm.
Following the public comment process, DARS staff made edits and finalized the Virginia State Plan for
Aging Services in advance of the July 1, 2019 submission to ACL.
DARS would also like to thank students in GRTY 604: Problems, Issues and Trends in Aging 2019 class
with the VCU School of Gerontology for assisting with compiling information for this plan.
