Affordable housing and connected health services are the two most critical policy interventions that local leaders need to prioritize before 2030 as they prepare for aging populations, according to a forthcoming Milken Institute survey. Though the vast majority of older adults prefer to age in their own homes and communities, 60 percent of middle-income older adults will have mobility limitations, and by 2029, more than half will not have the financial resources to pay for senior housing and care. During this session, leading experts will discuss new ways to re-design the urban landscape to promote affordable housing and access to health and long-term care services to enable older adults not only to age in place, but to thrive in communities of the future.
