Elderly Issues
Aging mainThe 2035 Regional Development Forecast shows the senior population in Southeast Michigan doubling in the next 30 years. This will have major consequences for transportation planning, housing and community development, public services and even economic development.

SEMCOG is in the process of developing additional resources to help communities address the challenges and opportunities related to a growing senior population.

Some of the transportation related resources can be found below:

Resources

  • The Area Agency on Aging 1-B serves Livingston, Macomb, Monroe, Oakland, St. Clair, and Washtenaw Counties.
  • The Senior Alliance (Area Agency on Aging 1-C) serves southern and western Wayne County communities.
  • The Detroit Area Agency on Aging serves the cities of Detroit, Hamtramck, Harper Woods, and Highland Park, and all of the Grosse Pointe communities.
  • Adult Well-Being Services provides developmental disability and mental health services to seniors and younger adults in the tri-county area.

For more information, there are a variety of additional materials available on this topic. You may also contact Naheed Huq to learn about SEMCOG’s efforts with elderly issues.
