The rapid growth of the US population ages seventy-five and older in the coming years will increase the need for housing that accommodates mobility limitations and helps connect residents with supportive services and opportunities for socialization. While expanding the supply of housing with services such as those provided by independent and assisted living facilities is needed, so too are greater supports to allow older adults with disabilities to age successfully in their homes and communities. These include financial support for modifications to the home, the delivery of supportive services in the home by both family and paid caregivers, and the expansion of housing options in communities where older adults live.
未来几年，美国 75 岁及以上人口的快速增长将增加对住房的需求，这些住房要能满足行动不便者的需求，并帮助居民获得支持性服务和社交机会。虽然需要扩大提供独立生活和辅助生活设施等服务的住房供应，但也需要更多支持，以使残疾老年人能够在自己的家中和社区中成功安享晚年。这些支持包括为家庭和付费护理人员在家庭中提供支持性服务，以及扩大老年人居住社区的住房选择提供资金支持。
