Aging Readiness Plan

The Clark County Aging Readiness Plan (ARP or plan) is a long-range planning document that assesses the county’s readiness to serve as a home for a growing number of older residents. The ARP addresses issues specific to healthy communities, housing, transportation/mobility; civic involvement; and emergency preparedness. It includes strategies to improve the community’s capacity to support its growing older population and ultimately benefit all ages.

The initial plan was adopted in 2012. The 10-year update of the ARP was adopted in September, 2023. You can:
