Commission on Aging

The Brevard County Commission on Aging was established in 2001 to address the ongoing needs of our aging population through a collaborative, coordinated effort among the public and private sector, as well as interested citizens.

The Commission on Aging currently meets on the second Thursday of each month in the Viera Government Center.

The BCOA encourages the participation of individual citizens, organizations, and service providers in the planning process. It is only through a collaborative effort that a plan can be developed that will be successful in meeting the needs of our communities and our elder citizens. Various committees and task forces are appointed on an as needed basis to address issues of immediate concern.
