Driven by the pandemic and the recent rise of inflation, the affordable housing crisis is affecting more people nationwide, especially older adults over the age of 65. This demographic is significantly vulnerable, with more than 15 million older adults facing economic insecurity. While Congress has addressed this nationally, dedicating $500 million of The Housing Crisis Response Act of 2023 to supportive housing for older adults, combating this crisis locally is Spanish Coalition for Housing (SCH), a Chicago-based housing counseling agency. The organization is raising awareness about the increasing rate of older adults becoming unhoused and working to connect older adults to resources that create housing stability. In recognizing these barriers, SCH works with its older community members to connect them to affordable housing through the Chicago Housing Authority (CHA). The CHA has 43 properties that have been accommodated to meet the needs of older residents, such as renovated kitchens and bathrooms and upgraded heating and cooling systems. To learn more about the free services offered by SCH or register for a free workshop, visit www.sc4housing.org/cha. SCH staff invites anyone interested in their services or anyone who has questions about available home buying or rental resources to email (help@sc4housing.org) or call for dedicated assistance (North Region: 773-342-7575; Southeast Region: 773-933-7575; Southwest Region: 312-850-2660).
