Steering Committee

To advance home modification as a key policy and program priority for aging in place, the University of Southern California’s Fall Prevention Center of Excellence and the Administration for Community Living lead a Steering Committee to improve coordination and build new partnerships among stakeholders in federal, state, and local home modification activities. The Steering Committee jointly sets priorities and short and long-term activities to incorporate home modification in home and community based care programs; identify best use of limited funds; and improve coordination among the housing, health, disability, and sectors.
