Virginia state and housing leaders are finding success with informing plans and raising funds to benefit aging in place for their older population. Learn how in this webinar by VML partner organization Polco on 9/19.

Studies show older adults want to age in place. But with nationwide affordable and accessible housing shortages, many Americans worry they won’t be able to. Experts point to housing modifications and in-home services as solutions for older adult living, especially in rural areas. Unfortunately, these types of services often go underfunded. And many state agencies say they need more reliable data to secure additional grant funding and meet federal guidelines. So how can AAA, state government, housing, and planning leaders make a significant difference for Americans aging in place? In this Polco webinar, aging and housing leaders from the state of Virginia will reveal their successful approach to improving aging in place.

Join us to hear how they assess older adult needs, inform state plans, and the key to winning grants and launching new initiatives. You’ll also get the latest data highlights from National Research Center (NRC) at Polco about aging in place. See survey results that all state and housing leaders should know about older adult living. In this webinar: - Hear from Virginia leaders in aging and housing about how they use data to make decisions - Learn what state and local governments can do to help older adults age in place - See how your government can make housing accessible, affordable, and available for older adults in your community
