Lifelong Communities

The Atlanta region is experiencing an unprecedented demographic shift.  Between 2000 and 2015 the older adult population will double. By 2030, one out of every five residents will be over the age of 60. This change offers us a dramatic opportunity to re-imagine the way we live. ARC is working throughout the region to do just that.

The Atlanta Regional Commission is working with counties, cities and neighborhoods to create Lifelong Communities—places where individuals can live throughout their lifetime. This process brings together housing, transportation, public health, local elected officials, planners, service providers, older adults and caregivers to develop creative policies, programs and strategies to insure that the Atlanta region is a place anyone can live, regardless of their age.
