The City of National City launched the Age-Friendly National City project in 2019 through AARP's Livable Communities Initiative, supporting the San Diego Foundation Age-Friendly Communities Program. This initiative is an affiliate of the World Health Organization's (WHO) Global Network of the Age-Friendly States and Communities, an international effort launched in 2006 to help cities prepare for the growing population of older adults. AARP's Network of Age-Friendly Communities targets improved Domains of Livability that influence older adults' health and quality of life. Over the past 12 months the Age-Friendly National City Project Team prepared an Action Plan to make National City a more livable community for all ages. This plan was approved by the National City Council on August 17, 2021.
