description: This study estimates the number of frail elderly in federally assisted housing who are at significant risk of institutionalization. It then reviews existing state and federal efforts to serve this population and examines possible new service approaches. Also, it presents models whereby more states could be encouraged to become involved in serving their own frail elderly population, and makes recommendations on how best to structure and fund such programs.
