Senior Homelessness Is A Problem We Must Solve
Getting to know Melinda Forstey the Chief Operating Officer of Serving Seniors
One in four of San Diego’s homeless adults is over the age of 55. More than 40% are experiencing homelessness for the first time in their lives.
The main causes of older adult homelessness are economic: job loss, death or divorce, medical expenses, and even ageism that prevents someone from getting a good paying job after age 50.
The good news: new programs are starting to address the needs of older adults experiencing homelessness including prevention programs and shelters specifically for seniors.
