While the City population is going to be instantly getting a lot younger as VCU students move in this weekend, it’s important to recognize that much of the City’s full-time population is getting older.

One resource that should not be overlooked is the City of Richmond’s OAPD. The primary goal of the Office on Aging & Persons with Disabilities (OAPD) is to promote independence and enhance the dignity of Richmond’s aging and disabled populations by connecting these individuals with the necessary resources to meet their needs. The office targets older adults age 55 and older and persons with physical and sensory disabilities.
