- Current housing supply is inadequate to meet the needs of an aging population.
- By 2035, more than one in five people in the U.S. will be aged 65 and older.
- Homes will need more age-friendly elements such as zero-step entrances, single-floor living and wide halls and doorways that can accommodate walkers and wheelchairs.
- Multi-generational housing may play a greater role in the future.
