Webinar Description:

Shifting age demographics across the U.S. (and here in Oxford, Ohio) have produced a growing need for homes that are more accommodating as individuals' abilities change over time. Most older adults find themselves needing new or remodeled homes in order to live as independently as possible and safely sustain the activities that bring them meaning and purpose. The housing sector, private agencies, and local governments are all increasingly called on to help create or renovate homes that are more supportive and functional for older adults. However, the demand for this housing is growing faster than these stakeholders are able to respond and information about our changing population as it applies to housing policy and design issues in the 21st Century is needed. 

This webinar will address the emerging housing crisis for older adults, the impacts of inadequate housing on local services and municipal budgets, the basics of age-friendly and universal home design features, and opportunities for improved housing options for older adults.

As a result of this webinar, participants will be able to:

·      Understand the nature of housing issues facing older adults
