Point In Time Count Growth Signals Urgency
to Address Senior Homelessness
The 2022 Point In Time Count reported one in four San Diego County residents experiencing homelessness are age 55 and older, with half of all seniors becoming homeless for the first time in 2022.

“Affordable housing is the end goal, but people need help now,” - Paul Downey, President & CEO

As a community and as a region, we must do better. Serving Seniors issues an urgent call to move immediately to implement proposed measures to address senior homelessness.

3 Things You Can Do for Your Brain Health
Incorporate these tips during Alzheimer's & Brain Awareness Month.
  • Be Socially Active: Research shows that regularly interacting with others may help reduce your risk of developing dementia.
  • Make Safe Choices: Our ability to maintain lifelong brain health is very much influenced by the choices we make in our daily lives. Avoid harmful habits such as smoking and excessive drinking.
  • Challenge Your Brain: Play brain-challenging games with others such as chess, word and number puzzles, jigsaws, crosswords, sudoku and memory games.
