Housing 

As Iowa’s aging populations grow, affordable options for living will be critical. Housing is a basic human need that growing numbers of elderly are struggling to afford.  LAI advocates for a strong federal role in affordable senior housing – development, preservation and management including housing with supportive services. We continue to advocate for creative solutions to ensure safe, decent and affordable housing for our nation’s elders.
