Enacted on July 12, 2021, California’s 2021-22 budget addresses longstanding system challenges related to health care, long-term services and supports, workforce, and housing for older adults, people with disabilities, and their caregivers. It reflects the recommendations of the governor’s Master Plan for Aging issued earlier in 2021, and includes $4.6 billion to enhance access to home- and community-based services (HCBS), as outlined in California’s proposed HCBS Spending Plan.

Making an Impact
What Older Adults Want
We believe changing the narrative on aging demands a human-centered approach to better understand older people by welcoming them into the design process.

We believe aging is a personal, positive journey
As Americans live longer, it is time for creative solutions so that older adults, families, and communities are supported by health care, services and supports, and financing.
To that end, we at The SCAN Foundation build awareness about people's experiences and challenges. We prototype and pilot efforts in real time. We enable novel partnerships between unlikely groups to find common ground.
