National Low Income Housing Coalition

Senior Housing · District of Columbia · Free

Advocacy and research on affordable housing — many resources help low-income seniors. A starting point for adult children helping a parent relocate to a senior community closer to family. Most housing authorities have 1-3 year waitlists; apply at multiple authorities and update annually to stay active. Senior co-housing and intentional communities are growing; some target seniors specifically and combine private apartments with shared dining. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
