NCR recently participated in the Summit on Affordable Housing and Services at the Georgetown University Conference Center in Washington, D.C., hosted by the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA).
The mission of the summit was to continue collaborative exchange of ideas, practices, and models of senior housing with services to meet the growing needs of seniors within the context of housing and health reform.
The “invitation only” event built on the interdisciplinary work of housing and service providers, government, business, and foundation leaders over the past year to advance the potential for scalable, national, statewide pilot, and demonstrations of the efficacy of housing and services as a way to improve quality of life for seniors in cost-effective ways.
The expected outcomes of the summit were:
- To achieve understanding amongst participants about models of housing with services that show promise
- To discern general principles inherent in successful models (e.g., care coordination, financing, technology, regulation, etc.)
- To understand catalysts and barriers to success
- To achieve common understanding about successful outcomes of promising models
- To advance understanding of how the parties involved can work more effectively together to advance promising models
- To discuss next steps to be taken if a national, scalable pilot/demonstration plan can be defined, implemented and supported by providers, philanthropy, government and business sectors.
