Oregon's
population of people 65 and older is growing. By some estimates, Benton
County may see an increase of 5,000 people in this age category in the
next 10 years. The expected increase in people ages 18-24? About 850.
There is growing interest in our country — and here in Corvallis — in creating more options for senior housing. The benefits of living in clustered or shared housing could help many to delay or avoid the high expenses of moving into a large retirement home or assisted living facility.
Does Corvallis have what it takes to meet the housing needs of this growing segment of our population? What are the costs of different levels of care? Does city zoning provide the kind of flexibility that may be necessary to find creative solutions to the housing needs of older adults?
At the May 11 Corvallis City Club meeting, three speakers will address these and other questions about senior housing: Jim Moorefield, Executive Director, Willamette Neighborhood Housing; Lorene Hales, Administrator, Corvallis Caring Place; Jim Noel, member of the Over 65 Housing group of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis.
The meeting is open to the public. City Club meets in the Gerding Builders Gym at the Boys & Girls Club, 1112 NW Circle. The meeting will begin at 12 noon, and doors will open at 11:30. As always, attendance is free. Lunch by Baja Fresh is $10 for members, $15 for non-members. Registration is necessary only if you are having lunch. Send e-mail to in...@cityclubofcorvallis.org, with "City Club May 11" in the subject line, by May 8.
