National Survey of Providers of Independent Living Units (ILUs) for people with relatively low incomes and low assets
According to the National Housing Supply Council, the demand from older-person households for private rental housing and social housing is estimated to grow 120% between 2008 and 2028 (from 146,200 to 321,400 for private rental housing and from 86,500 to 189,800 for social housing).A significant proportion of these households are living in housing that is not affordable.

Conceptualizing Age-Friendly Communities
