Senior Housing
In recent years, there has been an increase in inquiries regarding housing placement for seniors. This trend is concerning but understandable, given the current state of the rental market, the limited availability of low-income senior housing options in Hampton Roads, and the fact that many seniors have families who are unable to accommodate them.
​
The Embrace Home Housing initiative’s supportive housing model is designed to assist seniors on fixed incomes in living independently while fostering a strong sense of community. By sharing housing costs and household responsibilities, seniors can save money and reduce the financial strain of living alone.
​
This model strikes a balance between autonomy and support, with housemates serving as informal caregivers when needed. It allows seniors to maintain their independence while having help nearby. Most importantly, the model creates a welcoming community where seniors can form friendships, share experiences, and receive emotional support, making it an ideal option for those seeking both affordability and connection.
