As the US population ages, the need for affordable and accessible housing and care is growing. While access remains a challenge, solutions are emerging to transform living options for older adults, according to a Milken Institute report. In 2024, housing is being redefined beyond just shelter; it's becoming key to well-being. With wellness-focused designs and technology for safety, homes are now integral to health strategies, marking a shift towards housing that actively supports better health. This year, the emphasis is on creating community-centric neighborhoods and adapting existing spaces for seniors. It's time to view housing not just as a place to live, but as an active player in maintaining health.
The demand for affordable senior housing and care is only going to increase as the US population ages. According to a Milken Institute report, there are barriers to access, but there are also potential paths forward to change the landscape of senior housing and care. 2024 is poised to redefine the way we perceive housing. It's not just about four walls; it's the cornerstone of our well-being. From innovative designs prioritizing wellness to tech integration ensuring safety, housing is becoming an active participant in healthcare strategies. We're witnessing a paradigm shift where homes are catalysts for better health outcomes. This year, we can expect a focus on neighborhoods fostering community health and repurposing existing spaces for an aging population. Let's embrace this evolution where housing isn't just a refuge but a proactive contributor to our health. #seniorhousing #healthcare #housingforhealth #innovation #agingpopulation

So much more to do to overcome the health outcome impacts of social determinants of health: poverty, housing insecurity, environmental racism, and food insecurity (among others!) CHCs still are the network resource to address these crises!
Nearly 60 years ago, visionary community activists and reform-minded physicians in the Civil Rights Movement established the first Community Health Centers to fight poverty, advance health equity, and change lives. In the process, they launched a national movement. Today, health centers are the largest primary care network in the United States, serving 31.5 million patients nationwide. A new short video from NACHC recounts the early history of health centers, founded as a bold experiment to bring healthcare to the nation’s overlooked rural and urban communities. #ValueCHCs #HealthEquity
