Housing and Supportive Services
• Public preference for aging in place is overwhelming, but has major challenges:– Fragmentation of services available– Issues of financing and coordination on local
level– Lack of affordable supportive housing options – Nursing Homes often only option for very low
income elderly

Need for Supportive Services in HUD-Subsidized Housing
• Average age is about 80 years(Section 202/ Public Housing – Many 90+)
• 90% of residents are older women who live alone; less than $10,000 income
• Estimate 20-30% need supportive services to remain in existing home

Models of Housing with Services
• Housing & Program of All Inclusive Care for the Elderly (P.A.C.E.)
• HUD Assisted Living Conversion Program (A.L.C.P.)
• Housing and Contracted Services: HCBS
• Housing-preference for Olmstead

Assisted Living Conversion Program
• Grant funds the physical costs of converting some or all of the units into an ALF
• Funding for supportive services paid for by residents, foundations, Medicaid, SSI, State or Area Agency on Aging, etc.
![Page 11: Living with Dignity – Aging in Place](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e3a550346895dcca0b8/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Housing Linked to Services • Connect with local area agencies on
aging• Partner with home and community-
based services providers• Co-location• Partnering with State to give priority to
Olmstead-related policies
![Page 12: Living with Dignity – Aging in Place](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56815e3a550346895dcca0b8/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
In the Future• “Housers” unlikely to be the licensed provider
until the public funding is sufficient to support the service mandate (partnerships with HCBS providers)
• The amount of service provided will expand and decrease with the availability of public funding sources
• Service programs will be geared towards an aging-in-place philosophy

Financing StructureGoal: To admit tenants that meet income guidelines for Section 8 and can afford to either
pay for services through private pay or meet asset guidelines for Medicaid and HCBS• Debt on Physical structure paid for through guaranteed revenue stream in the form of Project
Based Section 8 Vouchers• Services paid for through Medicaid/HCBS or Private Pay

Talent/Workforce Availability• New talent needed from the boardroom to
the bedside• Workforce will become more diverse;
more immigration• Management of new workforce will require
new skills and greater racial/ethnic diversity
• Workers will need to adapt to technology • Family caregivers will need training to
keep people at home
