Health & Housing Partnerships for Older Adults: Aging in Place in Supportive Housing
Nationwide, the rate of homeless individuals over the age of 50 is growing. Not only are those on the streets getting older, but their health is deteriorating at rates much faster than the general population. Pressing chronic health and geriatric conditions exacerbate the housing crisis for thousands of unsheltered individuals over 50.1 Supportive housing, a proven intervention for meeting the unique and complex needs of formerly homeless individuals, is also experiencing a “graying” consumer population that calls for changes to the way that quality supportive housing is provided. Nearly 40% of supportive housing consumers are over the age of 50.
Health centers are also witnessing a surge in their older consumer population. Between 2013 and 2015, there was an increase in the number of consumers ages 50-64 and 65+ across all health centers at a higher rate than the overall health center population.
