On Broadway, construction continues on the the Pride Place project to create new affordable housing and services dedicated to serving lesbian, gay, bisexual and queer seniors. The challenges of aging and finding affordable homes in the city will be on the table at City Hall next week during a forum on “age-friendly housing.”
The November 2nd Where will Seattle’s Older Adults Live? forum from the Seattle Human Services department and King County will include experts and local officials:
Join Age-Friendly Seattle, AARP Washington, and the Northwest Universal Design Council, and the Older Adults and Healthy Aging team at King County’s Department of Community and Human Services/Adult Service Division as we discuss the current housing challenges experienced by older adults, age-friendly home design, and efforts underway to ensure people have access to housing as they age.
