In the year 2030, the elderly population will double. We need to provide a new physical and social infrastructure for the elderly population. Three million seniors won't be able to feed, bathe or clothe themselves.
Predatory lenders prey on the elderly with equity in their homes.
Housing the elderly is more than sticks and bricks, it is also about providing services. These are just some of the thought provoking quotes told to more than 700 participants at HUD's first conference on housing the elderly at the Baltimore Convention Center, May 4-5. Speakers recognized the importance of housing the elderly in appropriate facilities that are equipped with vital social services. Faith-based organizations and other nonprofit organizations were also recognized for their important role in creating retirement communities that keep the elderly independent and in their own homes. Next, move in with family, or live in senior housing.
