On Wednesday, February 15, 2023, Valerie Wright, member of the COA’s Age-Friendly Housing Committee presented two recommendations for consideration for the City’s Draft Operating and Capital Budget:
- increase the range of age-friendly housing options that are both deeply affordable and accessible, that provide access to services, and that allow older adults to age in place and community.
- encourage and invest in innovative building models that incorporate age-friendly design that encourages connections and relationships across a range of ages, income levels, and backgrounds and helps to meet housing needs across a person’s lifespan.
