The predecessor group to the Juneau Commission on Aging – the Senior Citizen Advisory Committee was created January 6, 1977 for the purpose of advising the Alaska State Housing Authority and the Assembly on matters related to the development of a 42-unit elderly housing project in the City & Borough of Juneau. The Assembly then morphed that committee into the Commission on Aging in 1985.

Between 1985 and 2017, the commission consisted of 5-7 members and functioned under the charges found in Resolution 2279 and similar guiding legislation. Due to a variety of reasons, in 2016-2017 the commission lost the majority of its members and the Assembly Human Resources Committee worked collaboratively with the remaining members to evaluate and reform the commission with a new membership and new purpose. The resulting newly reformed Juneau Commission on Aging was created by the adoption of Resolution 2802 and appointment of nine members, at least five of which are 65 years of age or older serving for two year staggered terms.
