Does Habitat for Humanity Help Seniors Age in Place?
|
Elena, 85, moved into a ranch house decades ago, hoping to grow old gracefully in her one-story home. As she started getting older and was on her own, she worried about how she would tackle the upkeep her home required. Thirty years passed — and she lived in a weather-beaten house with steps in the front that she could no longer negotiate.
Elena remembers her granddaughter volunteering for Habitat for Humanity a few years ago to build homes for the poor. So, from what she knew about Habitat for Humanity, their purpose was to build homes for those in need financially. Little did Elena know that older adults now account for more than half of all Habitat for Humanity remodels, and most of what they are doing is making
homes more accessible for aging in place.
