survey at vaccine sites, we were able to reach residents. The final survey count was 1913, <br />with 1866 suitable for analysis. <br />In Spring of 2021, SCIRC members joined workgroup meetings facilitated by the Florida <br />Department of Health Indian River (FDOH-IR) to develop FDOH-IR's new 2022-2026 <br />Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). The 2022-2026 CHIP priority areas and <br />associated action plans were adopted for the Livable Indian River plan, with a few minor <br />additions and modifications. <br />Livable Indian River used a survey adapted from AARP. Due to Covid, few listening <br />sessions occurred. The Community Needs Assessment of 2019 involved twelve focus <br />groups, and 1400 surveys. From the survey of SCIRC, and Comprehensive Community <br />Survey of 2019, critical themes emerged. All but one Livable Indian River domain <br />(communication and information) was taken directly from FDOH-IR's CHIP. The themes <br />which surfaced: community health, affordable housing, income, and <br />communication/information. The Action Plan highlights four domains, one of which <br />incorporates components of two additional World Health Organization domains. <br />Community Health To identify current community and health service gaps and ways to <br />fill the gaps to expand livability for IRC residents who become ill, get hurt, or need <br />assistance so they can access and afford health services, community supports and <br />wellness activities. This domain also includes components from two additional World <br />Health Organization domains: Outdoor Spaces and Buildings and Social Participation. <br />Housing To increase number and availability of affordable housing units and increase <br />resources, education, access, and integration of services for home ownership attainment. <br />Economic Opportunity and Employment includes the World Health Organization Age - <br />Friendly domain Civic Participation and Employment. To reduce unemployment, increase <br />GED achievement, and establish community resource centers. <br />Communication and Information Increase awareness of the positive contributions of <br />older adults and services and activities available to them through education, awareness <br />campaigns and strengthened collaboration. <br />Livable Indian River Action Plan 4 <br />24 <br />
