Progress
Colorado’s Multi-Sector Plan on Aging is already in motion. State and local partners are turning strategic goals into real-world action — and the plan will continue to evolve over the next 10 years as progress is made and new opportunities emerge.
About the Multi-Sector Plan on Aging
Colorado’s Multi-Sector Plan on Aging is a 10-year blueprint for how we can support older Coloradans. Over the next 10 years, Colorado state government, local municipalities, philanthropic organizations, the business community, healthcare organizations, higher education institutions, non-profit organizations and others will all work in concert to implement the strategies needed to make Colorado the best place to age. Though this is a government-led plan, it is intended to be community-run.
Strategies and Initiatives
Starting with Fiscal Year 2025-26, Colorado will release new initiatives to implement each year. In the first year, the State will prioritize 24 initiatives across the five strategic goals. As we make progress on baseline data collection and coalition building, we will continue to build upon these initiatives and release new ones.

Stakeholder Feedback
The Colorado Department of Human Services will seek feedback from stakeholders on the strategies and implementation efficacy annually. This plan will require legislative updates, rule changes and budget initiatives. The Multi-Sector Plan will align priorities strategically with administration timelines, funding opportunities and ongoing community initiatives to leverage momentum. The Multi-Sector Plan on Aging will continue to support all older Coloradans of various intersections.
Local Implementation
The initiatives in the Multi-Sector Plan on Aging are intended to provide support and resources for all older Coloradans. While this plan presents statewide strategies, CDHS recognizes the need to build local implementation plans to ensure initiative development fits the needs of Colorado’s diverse geographic regions. Strategies that work for the Western Slope may not be effective for the Eastern Plains. Over the next several years, CDHS will work with local communities and regions to build initiatives that are meaningful to all communities.
