NAVIGATING OLDER ADULT HOMELESSNESS
Why Older Adults?
In Pima County there is a startling trend of first-time homelessness in older adults. Many of these individuals don't know how to access the homeless response system and available services. Our lineup of speakers for the day includes experts in the field and advocates for both those experiencing homelessness and those specializing in older adult services. Together, we will share knowledge of homeless and older adult services, and work toward improved housing stability for older adults.
In 2023 389 older adults were interviewed about their experiences. View the resulting report below.
