Age-friendly city program

(a) There is hereby established within the department of community services an age-friendly city program. (b) The purpose of this program is to make Honolulu an “age-friendly city” as envisioned in the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities program. The initial steps towards this goal were outlined in the action plan and overseen by a joint city and community implementation committee. Age-friendly programs, services, facilities, and projects as outlined in the World Health Organization’s ‘Global age-friendly cities: A guide,’ in its original published form or as amended, will be incorporated, as appropriate, within the city’s planning documents, including, but not limited to, the general plan, Consolidated Plan, and Area Plan on Aging. The program will sustain the age-friendly city initiative into the future by guiding the comprehensive and balanced planning, budgeting, design, construction, implementation, operation, and evaluation of city programs, services, facilities, and projects in accordance with the age-friendly city concept.
