DWC’s Aging in Place program combines a highly effective Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) model for women and gender-diverse individuals experiencing homelessness with services not typically offered in PSH (e.g., a Registered Nurse and Occupational Therapy) to ensure that older adults can maintain supportive housing and address chronic health conditions that threaten their stability. With support from LA2050, DWC will both continue to deliver these services and develop a program manual that will allow us to replicate our successful model.
