According to a Milken Institute survey, affordable housing and connected health services are the two most critical policy interventions that local leaders must prioritize before 2030, as they prepare for aging populations. Although most older adults say they would prefer to age in their own homes, some will not be able to do so safely and affordably unless access to health and social services is connected to their housing by design. Responding to this need, payers have begun to lead the charge in directing investments towards integrated efforts that address social determinants of health on behalf of their investor-members, including affordable housing developments in markets across the county. During this session, experts in the field will discuss new ways to promote innovative models that integrate health and housing to enable older adults to thrive in future communities.
