Impulsamos mejoras en políticas, programas y sistemas mediante subvenciones para ayudar a las personas mayores a envejecer bien en sus hogares y comunidades. Nuestras subvenciones exploran soluciones que responden a las necesidades reales de las personas mayores, centrándose principalmente en lo que afirman necesitar quienes históricamente han sido excluidos de la toma de decisiones.
Plan Maestro de California para el Envejecimiento (MPA): Junta Asesora de Experiencias Vividas sobre el Envejecimiento y la Discapacidad (AD-LEAB)
Policies are often designed without input from the people most affected. Supported by the MPA Fund, Mandala Change Group, in partnership with the California Department of Aging (CDA), developed the Aging and Disability Lived Experience Advisory Board (AD-LEAB) to center the experiences and expertise of underserved and underrepresented older adults, adults with disabilities, and caregivers to address gaps in systems, programs, and services that further exacerbate inequities. At the end of the project, CDA will advance MPA priorities informed by lived experience, along with a replicable model.

Sharing the stories of people with lived experience provides an opportunity to highlight what they need to live well at home and in community. USofCare, through this project, co-funded by the California Health Care Foundation, will work to educate policymakers on the compelling facts and arguments for how the Medicaid program impacts their constituents through elevating lived experience.

There are newly emerging policy conversations about federal LTSS/LTCF innovation, both amongst legislative staff and within various aging and health care stakeholder coalitions. This project, which will result in a succinct policy brief on LTSS reform that will be disseminated to key federal policy staff, will support TSF’s larger strategic goal to elevate LTCF reform as an important policy and political issue that needs solutions urgently.

To create the conditions for meaningful policy action, it is essential to develop consensus-driven, tactical policy recommendations that can be quickly and clearly shared when a policy window opens. However, historically, aging policy and advocacy groups have struggled to coalesce around specific recommendations that policymakers can champion. This project will entail coalition building and policy analysis/prioritization to bridge differing priorities and build a catalogue of actionable, stakeholder-vetted policy proposals that are positioned to advance the future of aging policy, including tactical action plans and one public-facing policy playbook.

Access to and affordability of health care is central to older adults, especially those who are dually eligible, to remain in the community. With co-funding from AARP Foundation, Arnold Ventures, State Value Health Strategies and The Commonwealth Fund, this project will engage an affinity group of Medicaid leaders across all 50 states and territories to build cross-state and cross-disciplinary learning. This will be accomplished through ongoing technical assistance and a 2-day meeting of Medicaid leaders.
