The
Mayor’s Commission on Aging was established in 1980 to advise
the Mayor and the City Council about issues affecting Oakland seniors.
The Commission on Aging works in partnership with the Department
of Human Services to develop and evaluate programs to address the
special needs of our City’s diverse senior residents. A primary
function of the Commission is to support the City’s network
of Senior Centers. Also, each year, the Commission awards grants
from the City’s Parking Ticket Set Aside Fund to local senior
service providers.
The Commission on Aging is chartered for 11
members, nominated by the City Council or the
Mayor. The diverse Commission membership represents
the variety of communities in the City of Oakland.
