Housing options for seniors.
Many housing programs have apartments or entire properties restricted to senior residents only, including Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly.Libby Trahan says:
"I knew nothing about Section 8 or other affordable housing options, but Affordable Housing Online is very informative and I have learned about resources that I never knew were available."
