FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CCCSC Remains Committed to Continued Services to Seniors
Santa Maria, CA — February 18, 2026 — Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens (CCCSC), in cooperation with the California Department of Aging (CDA), continues to and is committed to provide uninterrupted services to seniors in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties with the support of CDA. Accordingly, CCCSC has voluntarily requested withdrawal of its designation as the Area Agency on Aging. This type of transition is not uncommon and has occurred in other counties, including Ventura County, as part of normal administrative and regulatory evolution.
During this transition period, the CDA and CCCSC are working productively and collaboratively to ensure that services for older adults across the Central Coast continue without interruption. Protecting seniors and maintaining service stability remains the shared priority.
We remain committed to ensuring that older adults, caregivers, and families experience no disruption in support during this administrative transition.
The Central Coast Commission for Senior Citizens-Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a non-profit organization responsible for allocating federal and state dollars to local agencies to insure that supportive, nutrition and health promotion services to older adults in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara Counties are available.
