- Title
Supportive Housing for Frail, Low-Income Older Adults: Identifying Need and Allocating Resources.
- Authors
Golant, Stephen M.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the importance of identifying the need and allocating resources for supportive housing of frail, low-income older adults in the U.S. The characteristics that would expect to be predictors of occupancy in a deserving location include at-risk older people who can't live independently and communities that offer too little affordable housing and inadequate long-term-care resources. The changing population settlements as well as regional differences affect how older people live. Furthermore, it is important for government planners to carefully interpret data distinguish particular places according to growth rates and size of older populations. The sociodemographic composition and the housing arrangements in a location may still offer an incomplete portrayal of older people with unmet needs.
