The Portland, Maine development is an effort to help lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual or queer older adults "age gracefully with some form of dignity in a place that’s accepting and supportive and will help with the challenges of aging." @MarketWatch marketwatch.com/story/the-lgbt…

The drop in demand for homes that need renovation is being driven by high mortgage rates. Fixer-uppers are always risky, but are more costly now as rates for home loans and construction have increased, on top of already high prices.@VeronicaDagher @WSJ wsj.com/articles/buyin…

Are You Alienating the Older Adult Market Without Realizing it? My first ever @HITMarketingPR blog post with thanks to @Colin_Hung. This came from a well-attended professional development session I ran. hitmc.com/digital-market…

Lexington, one of the most expensive housing markets in Massachusetts, this week became the first town in the state to pass zoning that aims to comply with a new law that calls for denser development in communities served by the MBTA. bostonglobe.com/2023/04/13/bus…

“The deterioration in affordability that we have seen over the last two years, even the last year, is frankly stunning,” says @Dan_McCue. “It’s not that Boston was affordable before, but this has become a housing market for almost no one.” @andrewnbrinker bostonglobe.com/2023/02/25/bus…

Informed Aging: the @Harvard community explores the physical, spiritual, and intellectual aspects of growing older, featuring our work on the importance of safe, accessible housing for #olderadults, research from @HarvardChanSPH, @harvardmed, and others. harvard.edu

The share of Black #renter households who can afford to buy the median-priced home in the US has fallen by more than half since last year. @raheem_hanifa jchs.harvard.edu/blog/year-half…

By limiting the number of rental options, neighborhoods effectively exclude lower-income households from their communities. Read about this in @airbrycki’s and my latest blog on rental segregation:

From 2019 to 2020, the share of #renter households with cost burdens (spending over 33% of their income for #housing) rose nearly 3 percentage points, and socioeconomic and racial inequalities widened. @airbrycki @Hail_Hail jchs.harvard.edu/blog/affordabi…

Great conversation @BnaiBrith! Thanks for the opportunity to share our work @Harvard_JCHS

Our researchers will talk about #housing literally anywhere you let them. @carlosonhousing @MayorDaniella

“The younger boomers were hit especially hard in the Great Recession, many losing their homes close to retirement,” says @jenmolinsky. @asnowreports @AP apnews.com/article/covid-…

This is another silo we’re stuck in — financial planning that fails to address a basic social determinant of health, housing. It shows that we’ve got a lot of work to do. Good piece by @richeis315. cc: @NoraSuper1 @jenmolinsky @ricedelman #seniorliving #retirement #aging

THIS FRIDAY: PhD candidate & Meyer Fellow @emoszkow shares her research on how a proposed vacancy tax might affect rents, vacancy rates, retail mix, housing markets, and consumer welfare in New York City. jchs.harvard.edu/calendar/can-r…

Inequalities in housing location are a key issue - check out a report that I co-authored with @jenmolinsky @sguzman6 and @airbrycki at aarp.org/livableneighbo…. We dove into which categories of older adults have access to the most livable neighborhoods.

❗️”My plan includes more affordable housing.”❗️ YES PRESIDENT BIDEN! #SOTU #StateofHousing
