The Role of State Units on Aging in Home Modification and Repair: Lessons from a National Survey

The home environment plays an important role in aging in place. However, the extent to which State Units on Aging (SUAs) contribute to maximizing access to home modification and repair (HMR) has not been well understood. With support from the Administration for Community Living and in partnership with ADvancing States, the University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology surveyed state and territorial agencies on aging and disabilities to develop a knowledge base of state HMR activities for older adults and persons with disabilities. This webinar will feature the findings from the 50 SUA respondents, and provide examples of the challenges, opportunities, and successes related to maximizing older adults’ access to HMR polices, programs, and funding sources at the state level.

Presenters: Jon Pynoos, Emily Nabors, and Julie Overton, University of Southern California Leonard Davis School of Gerontology; and Damon Terzaghi, ADvancing States
