Senior Housing with Supportive Services for Low-income Older Adults in the United States

Abstract

South Korea is moving into a super-aged society with growing societal care costs for older adults. Various housing models with support and care for older people have been developed and promoted as an effective way of facilitating aging in place and delaying the institutionalization of an older population. This study aims to review various supportive housing models for low-income older adults in the United States and provide policy implications for affordable senior housing developments in South Korea. The study highlights the roles of service coordination in the residential well-being of older residents in senior housing. Also, the official partnerships on the federal level were provided in this study, which interconnect housing, health, and social services.
