Getting What We Want by Investing in What We Need

December 8 Event to Explore Building Consensus and Narrative Change

Most older Americans want to “age in place,” yet many lack the “place” they need because of a wide range of factors, from land use restriction to private-market options geared to wealthy adults. How do we build consensus around investing in places where typical moderate-income Americans can age? How can we recognize affordable, accessible homes as community assets? The authors of a new report from a research collaboration between The Hastings Center and the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard will explore these questions with experts in housing and narrative change.
