Over the next 15 years, the number of Minnesotans who are age 65 or older will increase by about 220,000, which will create new housing challenges.  Initially, as baby boomers have retired, they have predominantly lived independently and are aging in place, but as they get older and disabilities increase, the housing demands will become more complex. We will take steps to provide older adults with a range of housing and support options as their needs change.

Minnesota Housing is an active participant in the Governor’s Council for an Age-Friendly Minnesota, which is a collaborative effort to make Minnesota’s systems and communities more inclusive of and responsive to older adults. It is part of a global movement to prepare for an aging population and ensure that older people are valued and integrated into communities at a new level.
