We believe that aging is a community responsibility, rather than solely an individual or family issue. The high cost of housing in Marin County has forced many children of older adults to move away, leaving their parents without a strong family support network and important resources. Marin’s older adults have contributed to this community, and they deserve the dignity of being able to remain in the county they helped to build. Vivalon strives to create a connected community, where all people have equitable access to the resources and services they need in order to thrive. We call this Aging Equity, and we believe that we all share in the responsibility to make this vision a reality.
