Aging in Place

Aging in Place is an HPD initiative that works with buildings already receiving financing through an HPD Preservation loan program to assess and finance in-unit and building-wide modifications to assist seniors and people with disabilities in those buildings maintain independent, safe, and comfortable lives. Aging in Place is part of the Seniors First initiative.

In order to facilitate seniors' ability to age in place, and to help create inclusive neighborhoods for people with disabilities, residents in HPD financed buildings now receive a survey to select apartment modifications, which will be completed in conjunction with building rehabilitation through a Preservation loan program.
