Seniors At Risk: Post-Pandemic Housing Crisis in Southern Passaic County

The pandemic isn’t just a health risk for seniors. The post-pandemic economy, especially increased housing costs, is hitting the aging community hard. As a result, more seniors have been pushed into poverty and social isolation, ultimately putting them at a greater risk of premature death and declining quality of life.

Join us on Thursday, Jan. 26 at 10 a.m. for a roundtable discussion – Seniors At Risk: Post-Pandemic Housing Crisis in Southern Passaic County – hosted by the Health Coalition of Passaic County featuring organizations working to improve health and quality of life in our region.

During this free one-hour event, you will learn:
– How housing instability is impacting our senior population and how we can help advance health equity
– How the pandemic aggravated existing obstacles to better health for seniors
– How Passaic County’s nonprofit network is addressing this growing problem

The panelists:
