Older Americans are the fastest-growing age group experiencing homelessness, with The Wall Street Journal reporting that “old people on fixed incomes are overwhelmed by the high cost of housing and other financial shocks” at levels "not seen since the Great Depression.” Estimates suggest that by 2030, the number of older adults experiencing homelessness will triple; by 2038, an additional 4 million older adults with low incomes will have no access to affordable housing.
