Can we assist residents living in public or federally assisted housing to age in place?

'Together We Can Act', a House Bill soon to be introduced in Congress, addresses the many unmet needs of seniors aging in place by providing services at home where they need them, including public housing residents and federally (Medicaid) subsidized seniors.

Part of filling this gap would be met by training residents in home health care careers to assist the burgeoning aging population who have few residential options besides subsidized housing, and who are further limited by a lack of means to pay for care and services.
