We’re excited to announce that the Age & Disability Friendly Novato Community Assessment is complete! With meaningful input from community members, the Steering Committee, Advisory Committee, and City of Novato staff, we have reviewed the findings and compiled a comprehensive report that includes an overview, detailed results and action steps to create a Novato that is inclusive for all ages and abilities.

We are pleased to share this report with the Novato community and invite you to explore the insights that will help shape our Age and Disability Friendly future. Join us as we move forward with making these actions a reality.
