Program Summary:

The aging population faces a growing crisis in accessing affordable housing. With rising living costs, fixed incomes, and a limited supply of senior-friendly housing options, many older adults struggle to find safe, accessible, and affordable places to live. This issue is further compounded by the need for proximity to healthcare, community resources, and social support systems, highlighting an urgent need for innovative and sustainable housing solutions tailored to the needs of seniors. Hear from a few Florida local municipalities and organizations as they discuss how they are working to provide affordable housing for aging populations and what other cities and counties in the state can do to solve this growing issue.
