Cleveland undertook a comprehensive assessment of community need in 2015 and spent the following year developing a plan to engage in the process of becoming more age-friendly and The Center for Community Solutions was identified as the lead agency for this strategy. Ultimately, the desired future state is that residents have options along the continuum within Cleveland so they are not forced to move out of the community as their needs increase.
