Seniors in Crisis on the Streets
Description
Senior homelessness is surging, with 265 people aged 65+ in emergency accommodation in April — a sharp rise exposing the growing vulnerability of older adults facing health issues and shrinking financial resources. Dublin Simon reports a 29% spike in interactions with rough sleepers, despite opening 19 new homes, as demand outstrips supply. One former renter described the crushing toll of housing insecurity, calling it “a tour of homeless services.” With pensions barely covering rent and no new housing on the horizon, experts warn the crisis will worsen unless urgent, systemic solutions are implemented — because homelessness hurts at any age, and older adults need help now more than ever.
