About this episode

The episode discusses the challenges older adults face in securing and maintaining housing, featuring insights from experts in aging services.

For episode 205, we are joined by Jennifer Tiedt and Terence Toone of the Central Ohio Area Agency on Aging. Jennifer supervises COAAA’s housing assistance program, or HAP, an emergency rental and utility assistance program. Terence is a housing resource specialist, preventing folks from entering homelessness and helping them age in place. For this episode we discuss the unique challenges older adults face in our housing shortage. Often living on fixed incomes, many socially isolated, experiencing chronic illness, mobility issues, and more, finding and maintaining housing presents a set of barriers due to an insufficient system and, especially, insufficient funding.
