The LADAP program goals align with California’s Master Plan for Aging (MPA) and our state’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.
Real change happens in the community. Our community partners play a critical role in providing locally coordinated services to support the health and well-being of older adults, people with disabilities, and caregivers. CDA appreciates the Governor and Legislature investing in the MPA through the LADAP grant program.
The Local Aging & Disability Action Planning (LADAP) grant program of the California Department of Aging (CDA) provides over $4 million to 20 organizations to develop local age- and disability-friendly action plans. With these resources, California partners are improving their community’s livability for people of all ages and abilities with local plans that center on community engagement and equity principles and practices.
CDA is partnering with the University of California, Davis - Betty Irene Moore School of Nursing, Family Caregiving Institute (UC Davis FCI) to conduct an evaluation of the LADAP grant program. To learn more about the LADAP grantees and their activities, review the UC Davis FCI Progress Report for the reporting period of July 1, 2023 – January 31, 2024 – Executive Summary (PDF) and Full Report (PDF).
