Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

In 2012, Humboldt County was the home of just over 25,000 people over the age of 60. By 2050 Humboldt County will be the home of nearly 60,247, more than double documented in 2012. These statistics are alarming and should get the attention of all local (State & National) sectors working with the aging population on track to establish and sustain community resources necessary to allow the elderly to age safely, comfortable, respectfully, and with dignity in their homes and communities. In the efforts of enhancing local social services for seniors, I worked alongside Area 1 Agency on Aging on a client-centered survey geared to enhance local senior programming.
