Designing Homes and Neighborhoods for an Aging Population Thursday, April 26 |
By 2030, one in five Americans will be over the age of 65. This approaching “gray wave” of older Americans makes urgent the issues of affordable housing, aging in place, and community services. On April 26, the Museum will convene professionals and practitioners from multiple disciplines to address housing and neighborhoods for an aging population. The Honorable Henry Cisneros, former HUD secretary, will deliver the keynote address. He will also sign copies of the book Independent for Life: Homes and Neighborhoods for an Aging America (University of Texas Press), published by the Stanford Center on Longevity and available for purchase in the Museum's Shop.
