RMHF was proud to help support the PositiveAge Listens: RVA Voices for Older Adult Advocacy report. The report aims to enhance understanding of the needs of Richmond-based not-for-profit partners with respect to older adult advocacy and public policy that advances positive aging for Virginians. Together, this group assembled to address challenges facing older adults in the Richmond region and foster opportunities for elders by coordinating and aligning advocacy efforts among individual organizations. PositiveAge was able to engaged 23 Richmond-based not-for-profit organizations that serve older adults in two Listening Sessions to discuss the participant’s perceptions on advocacy, policy impacts, and areas of need. The resulting conversations led to valuable insights and strategic recommendations on how to move this important work forward.
