Join Sarah Canham, PhD, FGSA, and Benjamin Henwood, PhD, MSW, for a thought-provoking webinar highlighting recent research from The Gerontologist’s Special Issue on Homelessness and Aging. This session will feature presentations from authors examining permanent supportive housing (PSH) interventions that promote stability and well-being among older adults with experiences of homelessness. First, Jared Schachner, PhD, will compare PSH and rapid rehousing among older adults of color, describing how both approaches reduce the risk of returning to homelessness and may be especially beneficial for Black adults 55 to 64 years of age. Next, Rebecca Brown, MD, MPH, will describe findings from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development–Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing program, identifying intervention considerations that support aging in place among veterans, such as staffing, focus, modality, timing, and duration. Lastly, Lara Nixon, MD, will share findings on how collaborative recreation programming in PSH fosters new skills and social connections among older residents. Attendees will gain insights into PSH innovations and strategies that promote health equity and housing stability in later life.
