"Supportive housing has given me so much. I take comfort in knowing that if I have a problem, there's someone I can go to right away. Every senior deserves the safety and security that my building provides, along with the privacy to receive care in our own homes."
"It is not an overstatement to say that supportive housing, which combines deeply affordable housing with on-site services such as case management and mental health and substance use counseling, saved my life."
"As the city and state work to address the ongoing affordability and homelessness crises, they must not overlook the unique needs of older adults."
Supportive housing has transformed the lives of many seniors, offering them safety, security, and privacy. After facing homelessness due to family illness, a former home health aide found stability in a supportive housing project. This type of housing combines affordable living with essential services, such as case management and counseling. The individual now enjoys a secure environment with regular staff check-ins and a supportive community. There is a pressing need for funding to ensure these facilities can continue to operate effectively and meet the needs of older adults amidst ongoing affordability and homelessness challenges.
