About the Forum
The Senior Agenda Coalition and 17 co-sponsoring agencies are organizing an opportunity for the 2022 gubernatorial candidates to speak to the issues of Rhode Island’s aging population.
The forum’s overarching question is: What will our next governor do to ensure the well-being of seniors, considering the forecasted population growth of older Rhode Islanders? RI Statewide Planning projections indicated that people sixty-five and older will grow to over 247,000 by 2030, an increase of 65,000 seniors over the 2020 census.
Forum Sponsors: Alzheimer’s Association Rhode Island Chapter, A Community Together, Carelink, Community Provider Network of Rhode Island, Economic Progress Institute, Leading Age Rhode Island, NAACP Providence Branch, Ocean State Center for Independent Living, PACE, Progreso Latino, Rhode Island Assisted Living Association, RI Elder Info, Rhode Island Health Care Association, Rhode Island Organizing Project, Rhode Island Senior Centers Directors Association, Senior Agenda Coalition of RI, SEIU Healthcare 1199 and The Village Common of Rhode Island.
