Successfully Aging and Living in San Antonio is transforming our community by advancing practices and policies that improve the quality of life of older adults in Bexar County, especially those most vulnerable.

SALSA has aligned its work to that of the World Health Organization’s Eight Domains of Livability:

• Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
• Transportation
• Respect and Social Inclusion
• Housing and Built Environment
• Communication and Information
• Civic Participation and Employment
• Community Support and Health Services
• Social Participation

SALSA is a collective impact initiative. Collective impact describes an intentional way of working together and sharing information for the purpose of solving a complex problem. Proponents of collective impact believe that the approach is more likely to solve complex problems than if a single nonprofit were to approach the same problem(s) on its own.

SALSA participants are a combination of individuals and organizations, with representatives from the business community, local government, and the social sector. SALSA partners are working on issues of housing, transportation, socialization, engagement, health, and caregiver support.
