A Slow Moving Crisis—America's Aging Population and Growing Need
America is aging fast—and the country is not ready. Inflation, rising rents, and a historic demographic shift are converging into a mounting affordability crisis for older adults. By 2040, the number of Americans ages 65 and older is expected to approach 80 million, nearly double today’s level. Many will enter retirement with limited savings, higher healthcare costs, and few affordable options for housing or long-term care. For IMPACT, this senior affordable housing investment sits at the intersection of market need and mission-driven investment. Affordable senior housing offers a way to address a growing structural shortage while supporting older adults who are increasingly priced out of safe, stable housing options.
