Overview

This commentary argues that homesharing programs reduce housing insecurity in older adults, suggesting a need for more responsive policies.

Key Points

  • Homesharing programs could significantly prevent homelessness among older adults, especially those facing housing instability.
  • Culturally responsive homesharing initiatives address the unique needs of low-income older adults from diverse backgrounds.
  • Older adults experience increased vulnerability to housing insecurity and homelessness due to systemic wealth inequities.
  • Policies focusing solely on crisis intervention overlook the potential of preventative strategies like homesharing.
