  • Why Are So Many Seniors Experiencing Homelessness?

    Why Are So Many Seniors Experiencing Homelessness?
    Feb 27 2026

    More older adults are losing their housing than ever before — many for the first time in their 60s or 70s. After a lifetime of work, stability can unravel quickly through rising rents, health challenges, the loss of a spouse, or income that simply can’t keep up.

    In this episode, we explore the unique barriers seniors face when navigating homelessness: the difficulty of asking for help after decades of independence, the physical toll of instability, and the systems that aren’t always designed with aging in mind.

    Through real stories and honest conversation, we ask what’s driving this growing trend — and what it looks like to respond with dignity, community, and care.
