125-E. Equitable Living: Co-Locating Affordable and Middle-Income Housing

Providers of affordable senior housing have long aimed to serve both low- and middle-income older adults. This session will showcase a housing project that achieved both goals by co-locating a new middle-income life plan community with an existing affordable housing community and linking the buildings through a shared amenity space. Presenters will explain how the shared campus fosters a more equitable community and offers services and staff that go beyond what either community could provide independently. You'll discover the architectural and spatial implications of building an income-inclusive community and learn why the local market was receptive to this new concept.
