Reimagining Great Places to Live
Everyday, our communities are working towards empowering residents of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to live their lives to the fullest. When work together, we all can live better.
What is an Age-Friendly Community?
The wants and needs of our neighbors are changing. And our communities must change with them.
As New Jerseyans age, many want to drive less and have easier access to services and businesses, whether by public transport or walking. Meanwhile, many young adults struggle to stay in their communities due to raising costs and the difficulty of finding their own home.
Age-Friendly Communities are those which enable neighbors of all ages and backgrounds to thrive.
- Allow Seniors to Age in Familiar Communities
- Empower Young People to Buy Their First Homes in Walkable Communities
- Grant families the space and opportunities needed to raise New Jersey’s future residents

The Age-Friendly Movement Continues to Grow
Building a new age-friendly New Jersey isn’t limited to one part of the state.
With partnerships across the state, we are supporting communities regardless where they are on their age-friendly journey.
