Episode Details

Seniors over fifty-five are staying unhoused longer than ever—averaging 234 days, a full month more than the general homeless population—despite overall homelessness declining. Rising housing costs and fixed incomes trap many older adults, especially those with disabilities, in cycles of instability. Shockingly, more seniors are experiencing homelessness for the first time, highlighting deep-rooted economic pressures. But there’s hope: street outreach programs have more than doubled their success in helping seniors find stable housing, proving that trust and presence matter. Still, the real fix lies in building affordable, long-term housing—not just shelters—that seniors can actually afford.
