Older Adult Homelessness and Housing: Using Prevention to Turn the Tide

Event Description: 

This webinar is hosted by NCOA’s Equity in Aging Collaborative, as a part of its webinar series “Turning the Tide on Economic Security in the Later Years,” with support from RRF Foundation for Aging.  The National Alliance to End Homelessness, SAGE, and Serving Seniors based in San Diego, California will share information about how the national housing and affordability crisis is impacting people as they age- particularly older adults of color in communities across the country. Within this moderated panel discussion, attendees will learn not only about the reasons many adults transition in being unhoused as they age- but also those challenges anchored in equity, ethnicity, race, and gender. The panel will also explore advocacy approaches and examples at the local level that have provided financial, physical health, and mental health support to older adults by using the Elder Index and other modernized approaches to funding systems to achieve a common goal. 

This webinar will be held on Wednesday, March 29 at 2:00 p.m. ET.
