The California Commission on Aging (CCoA)

CCoA works with legislators, state agencies, and nonprofit organizations to educate, advocate and collaborate on issues impacting older adults. The Commission is identified in statute as the principal advocacy body for older Californians.

Our Vision

All Californians can age with dignity, security, and purpose.

Our Mission

To serve as the principal advocacy body for older Californians and a catalyst for change that supports and celebrates Californians as they age.

California’s 60+ Population is Growing at an Unprecedented Rate. Adults 60+ will be Greater Than the Number of Children by 2023.

California’s 60+ population is growing at an unprecedented rate

From 2010-2060 the number of Californias over age 60 will double from 6 million to 14.7 million. This demographic shift touches everything: healthcare capacity, housing affordability, workforce planning, long term care, and economic security. Without proactive policy and investment today, California risks being unprepared for a future that is already arriving. The California Commission on Aging is committed to ensuring older Californians can age with dignity, security, and purpose — and that starts with treating this moment as the urgent priority it is.

Celebrate aging: Californians of all ages come together, embracing the beauty and wisdom that comes with growing older.

Together, let’s amplify our voices and advocate for policy priorities that enhance older Californians’ health, safety, autonomy, choice, and dignity.

We look forward to continuing this journey together.
