The Elder Affairs Advisory Board, under The Office of Community Advocacy, was established by ordinance in 2018 to expand the support for older adults in Miami-Dade County while allowing them to play a more active role in local government by crafting strategies to better meet their needs. Our goals are to advocate for the interests of the older adult community in Miami-Dade County, advance their quality of life, increase access to services to meet their needs, and promote an age-friendly community where our older residents are safe, respected, active, and engaged.
