Specifically, the State Plan on Aging is a report
required by the federal Administration for Community Living that
outlines IDoA program structure and financial plan for service
delivery over a three-year period. Every three years, IDoA is
required to submit a plan to lay out goals, strategies and
objectives to address the changing needs of older adults across the
state. The FY 2021-2023 State Plan on Aging incorporates elements of
the planning service area (PSA) plans and includes innovative
strategies to ensure that older adults are able to live safely in
their own homes. You can view the draft of the current State Plan
here. You can view previous State Plans here.

guide the future of service delivery to older Illinoisans and ensure
that their needs are met. Stakeholder feedback from our community
partners is critical to the planning processes,” said Paula Basta,
Director of IDoA. “I invite everyone to join our virtual meeting,
become familiar with our proposed State Plan, and submit your
opinions and feedback through one of the methods below. Together, we
