The Trump Administration's actions around housing and homelessness threaten to harm low-income older adults, who are the fastest-growing group among people experiencing homelessness. The growing gap between incomes and rents means affordable housing is increasingly out of reach for seniors. Yet instead of investing in proven solutions like federal rental assistance, the Administration is seeking to weaken and make cuts to housing and homeless assistance programs, which will deepen the homelessness crisis for older adults.
This webinar, Federal Housing Updates for Aging Advocates, will provide an overview of policy threats and opportunities affecting older adults' access to federal housing and homeless assistance programs.
Presenters will discuss:
- The importance of federal rental assistance for older adults;
- Federal housing policy updates and advocacy opportunities; and
- How aging advocates can take part in a multi-sector campaign advancing federal housing solutions for low-income renters.
Who Should Participate: Advocates for older adults at risk of or experiencing homelessness and other aging and disability stakeholders.
Presenters:
- Jennifer Kye, Director, Federal Housing Advocacy, Justice in Aging
- Chantelle Wilkinson, Vice President, Strategic Partnerships and Campaigns, National Low Income Housing Coalition
