  • Elderly Housing
    Elderly Housing By Elizabeth C. Kastenberg and Joseph Chasin Overview Purpose The senior housing industry has grown substantially since the 1990s with an increase in continuing care communities and the growth of new capital sources for all areas of the industry. The purpose of this article is to provide an introduction to the senior housing industry. This article will review the provisions limiting and regulating organizations that provide housing for senior citizens, outline the Service’s positions, and update previously published articles, 1979 ATRI 234 and 1985 CPE 174, by reviewing current trends and discussing the handling of applications and ruling requests from such organizations. This article will not deal with entities participating in projects that use the low-income housing tax credit provided in section 42 of the Code. These projects are subject to residency and other requirements beyond the scope of this article. Background: A study by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ An Aging Administration of Aging released in 2002 reports that, by the year 2030, the Population older population, defined as 65 years or older, of the United States will more than double to 70 million. In 2000, the older population represented 12.4% of the population in the United States, about one in every eight Americans. By 2030, about 20% of the population will be 65 years or older. • This growth is attributable to the aging of the Baby Boomers and to the advances and improvements in medicine and health care resulting in longer life spans. • These statistics show why there is a boom in the elderly housing industry.

  • Senior Housing
    Senior Housing Definition Senior housing is housing that is suitable for the needs of an aging population. It ranges from independent living to 24-hour care. In senior housing there is an emphasis on safety, accessibility, adaptability, and longevity that many conventional housing options may lack. Description/Summary Senior housing is becoming more important every day. Because of modern medicine, the population is living longer and requiring more services than ever before. Across the United States, the population of people 65 years and older is steadily rising and Northeastern Pennsylvania is no exception to this trend1. Although between 2000 and 2010 the population of seniors decreased by 8.8 percent and 8.2 percent in Lackawanna and Luzerne County, respectively, that number has increased by 3.4 percent in Lackawanna County and 2.6 percent in Luzerne County over the last three years2. The Administration on Aging predicts that by 2050 there will be 88 million people 65 years and older in the U.S., more than 20 percent of the total population3. The “Baby Boomer” age cohort are beginning to enter their elder years of life, and many will live into their 80s, 90s, and beyond. At this age, people demand specialized goods and services in all aspects of life, including housing. Housing adjustments must be made accordingly. Partners for Livable Communities estimates that one third of seniors are expected to have housing needs and almost one fifth of seniors will have service needs4. Understandably, there is also a desire among seniors to remain as independent as possible and in their own homes as they age.
