The Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey is proud to release its latest publication, Aging in Supportive Housing Guide.
Supportive housing opportunities allow people with disabilities and barriers, including individuals who are aging, to live as independently as possible. Advocates understand that combining the availability of affordable, accessible homes with supportive services tailored to residents’ needs empowers independent and self-sufficient living.
This guide provides information needed to consider what new supportive housing developments might look like in your city or town and how they might fill affordable housing requirements. We hope to inspire municipalities planning and developing affordable and supportive housing options. These housing opportunities can serve a larger diversity of residents than traditional senior communities for people ages 55 and over.
SHA would be happy to share the content of the guide through a presentation to your municipality or organization. Please email Kate Kelly, kate.kelly@shanj.org, to discuss setting up a presentation.
With New Jersey’s recent affordable housing legislation, we are poised to take a fresh view and look ahead at the next 10 years. As we look to the future, SHA's 26th Annual Conference featured the following related workshop, Meeting the Moment: Including Supportive Housing in Your Municipality.
You can also watch a recording of our Lunch and Learn from January 7, 2025 reviewing the guide and some of its important resources. The slides from the presentation may be accessed here.
Also, share this recording of our Aging in Supportive Housing Municipal Roundtable with your networks and municipalities.
The Aging in Supportive Housing Guide was funded by a grant from The Henry and Marilyn Taub Foundation. The Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey thanks the Taub Foundation along with its member and partner organizations for their support in making this Guide possible.
