Goals
By 2030, our nation will face a severe shortage in accessible and affordable housing to meet the needs of the 1 in 5 Americans who will be over the age of 65 in our country.
Working with key partners, AARP has developed key goals to address the senior housing crisis. We encourage these shared goals to make all of our communities affordable and welcoming for people regardless of age, background, circumstance, or physical ability.
