Are you searching for ways to fill vacancies and ensure a vibrant community within your Assisted Living units? Look no further! There’s a game-changing solution that can revolutionize the way to maintain a steady stream of older adult occupants.

Member organizations that offer Assisted Living Units can partner with Public Housing Authorities to receive vouchers covering the costs of older adult residents who qualify for affordable housing. Join Linda Couch, vice president of housing and aging services policy at LeadingAge, who will share how you can secure rental assistance vouchers for assisted living.

You’ll leave the webinar with the know-how to:

  • Tap into HUD’s voucher program
  • “Project-base” vouchers to assisted living apartments
  • Secure a steady stream of rent subsidies
  • Expand services to people with low incomes
