Housing for Older Adults in Newton: Challenges and Opportunities
Registration
About Event
Do you know someone who wants to stay in Newton but whose house isn’t working for them anymore?
Many Newton seniors face the choice between remaining in a home that no longer suits them and moving away from their community of friends and family.
While housing matters to the health and well-being of all people, aging can bring specific challenges: costs, accessibility, and access to services.
Newton resident Jennifer Molinsky directs the Housing an Aging Society Program at Harvard's Joint Center for Housing Studies.
She will discuss these challenges and ways to meet them with innovative housing options that fit the diverse preferences and needs of the city’s older residents.
