Aging in Supportive Housing

Roundtable for Municipalities


May 21, 2025 | Virtual Meeting | 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Join the Supportive Housing Association of New Jersey and its expert development members for a virtual roundtable discussion. The focus will be advancing supportive housing solutions. Featured development teams will share real-world success stories and highlight their innovative projects the serve populations that are aging along with other populations with special needs.


Municipal officials and stakeholders are especially encouraged to attend to explore how supportive housing can meet local needs. But all are welcome! The session will feature SHA’s Aging in Supportive Housing Guide, a practical resource designed to help communities envision and plan new developments that integrate affordable housing with aging-friendly support services.


Supportive housing opportunities allow people with disabilities and barriers, including individuals who are aging, to live as independently as possible. These inclusive housing models often serve a more diverse population than traditional 55+ communities, helping municipalities fulfill both affordable housing obligations and equity goals.

Tom Toronto

President

Bergen County's United Way

 

Samantha Hennessey

Vice President

of Development

The Alpert Group

Ken Regan

Vice President

Regan Development Corporation
