Intergenerational Housing
The United States faces a dual crisis in housing affordability and social isolation. Intergenerational living is a promising solution.
Increase the number and promote awareness of intergenerational housing and community models that foster meaningful connections among people of all ages and help address the housing affordability and social isolation crises. Allow for flexibility within federal and state housing subsidy programs to facilitate the development of intergenerational housing and incentivize resident services, community spaces and events, and amenities accessible to people of all ages and abilities.
