Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs

The Policy Advisory Board for Elder Affairs advises the Hawaii Executive Office on Aging on policies, programs, and budgets that affect older adults across the state. The board reviews the State Plan on Aging, makes recommendations on federal Older Americans Act programs, and advocates for services like meal delivery, caregiver support, and elder abuse prevention. It serves as a statewide voice for Hawaii's growing senior population.

Hawaii has one of the oldest populations in the nation, and this board shapes the services and protections available to kupuna statewide. Older adults, caregivers, and advocates can engage with the board's public meetings and contribute to the development of the State Plan on Aging.
