Recent studies highlight the escalating issue of senior homelessness and housing instability, underscoring the need for immediate, effective solutions.

 

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) identifies seniors as the fastest-growing group experiencing homelessness, with one-third of the chronically homeless population over 55 as of 2020. These older adults, often dependent on public benefits due to limited income opportunities, face unique challenges like fixed incomes and difficulties finding accessible housing, exacerbating their housing affordability issues (Reverse Mortgage Daily).
