AARP Livable Communities

Senior Housing · California · Free

Resources to make your community livable for all ages, including age-in-place tools. Useful for older adults priced out of their current home, downsizing, or facing eviction after retirement income drops. Most housing authorities have 1-3 year waitlists; apply at multiple authorities and update annually to stay active. Section 8 vouchers can be used in privately-owned senior buildings; ask the property whether they accept HCV. No cost to older adults or the people helping them.
