Panelists said affordable and accessible housing, transportation and caregiving are the top needs for the aging population in Bexar County.
Panelists participate in a discussion titled Aging Well in Bexar County featuring panelists Jane Paccione, Dr. Sudha Seshadri, Kristin L. Davila and moderated by Liz Ruiz Tuesday at KLRN.During a hybrid panel discussion co-hosted by the San Antonio Report and KLRN Tuesday, a panel of professionals who work with the city’s aging population shared resources and services available for people aged 60 and over, an age group which is expected to grow 20% by 2040.
Davila also serves on the city’s housing commission which oversees the Strategic Housing Implementation Plan , a plan focused on affordable housing for seniors in San Antonio. The commission has identified 11,000 homes that need to be rehabbed, or improved, so that residents can age in place safely. Davila said there are many more homes in the city that need modifications to make them more accessible.
“The folks that are earning 30% of the area median income or less, about $20,000 for a single person or less, those are the ones that are having the most difficult time finding not only an affordable place to live, but one that’s safe and one that’s in healthy condition,” Davila said.
