MN legislative records: on Social Security

Tim Walz: Establish Council on Age-Friendly Minnesota

There are one million older adults in Minnesota and that figure is growing rapidly. In 2020, the number of older adults in Minnesota over age 65 will exceed the number of children under age 18. Older adults may face challenges related to financial security, housing, transportation, health care, employment, and social service needs. In addition, thousands of direct support workers and the estimated 650,000 family and friends who provide unpaid caregiving are struggling to meet the ever-increasing demand for care.

Elevate the voice of older adults in developing the vision and action plan for an age-friendly state.
Identify opportunities for, and barriers to, collaboration among state agencies responsible for public-private partnerships.
Catalyze age-friendly work at the local level
Establish a statewide framework to tap into the potential presented by our aging communities and elevates aging across all of Minnesota.
