    What It's About

    This program, presented and sponsored by AARP, explores how age-friendly housing design can respond to changing demographics and the growing need for housing that supports people across the lifespan. You'll learn about the policy and market forces driving demand for more age-friendly options across new construction and remodeling. Discover why increasing missing middle, infill, and other housing types are critical as demographic and household needs shift. And see plans, images, and real-world project examples for how age-friendly design principles can be applied to enhance accessibility, flexibility, and livability for people of all ages. Walk away with a clear view of how communities, developers, and designers can support and advance age-friendly housing development along with a variety of practical tools and resources available to help.
