CITY OF AUSTIN SCOPE OF WORK QUALITY OF LIFE STUDY OF AUSTIN’S AGING POPULATION SOLICITATION NO. RFQS 4400 SAR4008 1.0 Introduction About the Commission on Aging The City of Austin, Texas, population 840,000, is the 13th largest city in the country. The Commission on Aging (formerly Commission on Seniors) serves as an advisory board to the Austin City Council concerning the quality of life for older adults in the Austin area and to help ensure older adults are productive, independent, and healthy. The Commission advises the council on issues related to older adults in the Austin area; evaluates and recommends programs, policies, and practices that create a positive impact and reduce the burden on older adults; determines the needs of older adults in the Austin community and advises council regarding these needs; and promotes the contributions older adults make to the cultural, economic, and historical value of Austin. The 2010 Census data showed significant demographic population growth. Austin was one of the fastest- growing pre-seniors/senior populations in the nation. In response to Austin’s increasing age diversity, former Mayor Lee Leffingwell convened a Task Force on Aging in 2012-13. He charged the group with developing strategic recommendations to ensure our aging neighbors have the resources to be healthy, independent, and integrated into community life. The Task Force was composed of a diverse group of leaders from non-profit organizations, funding entities, businesses, and academia. The St. David’s Foundation and Seton Foundation provided leadership and support. Additionally, 15 graduate students from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas conducted research to support the Task Force’s efforts. Students met with area experts, studied national best practices, and engaged approximately 500 local older adults through a multi-topic survey. The result of the Task Force efforts included a report and a set of recommendations that focused resources on ensuring adequate support was in place to help each of us continue to contribute to our community while we age with dignity. The Task Force recommended two new vehicles to ensure our community successfully serves and benefits from the aging of our population over time: a new City of Austin Commission on Seniors (now Commission on Aging) and a new independent non-profit group to convene, advocate and coordinate across the community: AustinUP. 2.0 Purpose The City of Austin (City) seeks qualifications from entities (Contractor) to complete a quality of life study that supports the …

Greater Austin Vietnamese Network Presents “ A 9000-mile Dream” Austin Vietnamese Cultural Community Center Luan Tran, Gerontologist Founder of Greater Austin Vietnamese Network (GAVN) CEO of Austin Vietnamese American Medical Professional (AVAMPS) Vice-President of Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens (AVSC) Luanntran@yahoo.com 512-496-3285 October 9, 2024 Austin, TX Good afternoon Commission on Aging, THANK YOU for allowing me to share with you our story today. Just for today, I would like to speak on behalf of 102 Vietnamese seniors who have sent me here to share with you their lived experiences. They are members of the Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens which is a non-profit organization established 36 years ago. How does AVSC impact the quality of life for Vietnamese seniors? The Austin Vietnamese Senior Citizens provides an essential and consistent source of social, cognitive, emotional, physical, and nutritional enrichment for the Vietnamese seniors of Austin. AVSC has touched the lives of hundreds of past members over a 36-year span. The senior center has continued to create a culturally based, safe, and fun environment for its current members. Additionally, it has also facilitated meaningful life-long friendships and support networks within the Vietnamese community. For many seniors, this center is the only place of socialization with a free hot Vietnamese meal. Moreover, for over three decades, AVSC has continued to be a vital part of life- “beating heart” for the Vietnamese seniors. To date, AVCS has outgrown their space and although we have adapted over 36 years in the same space, it has become an inefficient and unsafe environment. The internal small space of 1,000 SQ space is outdated and is not ADA compliant without a ramp or elevator. When more than 60 members congregate, it is standing room only. Externally there is no dedicated Handicap parking spaces or enough parking spaces for 30 cars. As the aging Vietnamese population continues to increase in the greater Austin area, the seniors will need a larger space with ADA considerations and ample parking spaces to congregate on a weekly basis. In summary, AVCS desperately and passionately wants to expand to meet the growing needs of the aging community of Austin with more culturally based programs, services, and ultimately preserving and passing on our heritage. Unfortunately, we do not have the infrastructure to expand and grow.
