Affordable Housing
There is a severe shortage of affordable housing for older adults with low incomes. LeadingAge and its members are the chief advocates for affordable senior housing funding, programs, and policies.

Affordable Housing Programs Are at Risk
President Trump has a vision for affordable housing programs in America: Significantly reduce federal funding for rental assistance and leave program administration to the states. This approach would disrupt housing stability for millions of older adults. LeadingAge is advocating for continued investment in strong federal housing + services programs—follow along our FY26 HUD budget updates and join our advocacy here.
