California’s 60+ Population is Growing at an Unprecedented Rate. Adults 60+ will be Greater Than the Number of Children by 2023.

Addressing the Crisis in Supportive Housing for Older Californians

Evelyn Middleham

More older Californians are facing homelessness, and too often there is simply nowhere for them to live. This month, the California Commission on Aging releases preliminary findings from an upcoming report that show where the system is falling short and how to fix it.

Built on powerful testimony from the Commission’s June 11, 2026 informational hearing, the report will examine the gaps in supportive housing capacity for older adults at risk of experiencing homelessness. It offers practical, scalable policy solutions to:

  • Expand supportive housing across the state
  • Increase access to integrated housing services designed for older adults
  • Help Californians age with the stability and dignity they deserve

Hear the findings firsthand from David Lindeman, PhD, Immediate Past Chair of the California Commission on Aging. Dr. Lindeman is Director of Health at the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society and the Banatao Institute (CITRIS) at the University of California, Berkeley, and Director of the Center for Technology and Aging.

Dr. Lindeman will present preliminary recommendations during the plenary session at the C4A Annual Conference on November 17.

Don’t miss this conversation about one of the most urgent challenges facing older Californians.

Celebrate aging: Californians of all ages come together, embracing the beauty and wisdom that comes with growing older.

Together, let’s amplify our voices and advocate for policy priorities that enhance older Californians’ health, safety, autonomy, choice, and dignity.

We look forward to continuing this journey together.
