RegisterAGING IN PLACE
Join us for an introduction to Habitat’s Aging in Place Program. This program is designed to help older adults remain safely and comfortably in their own homes through thoughtful modifications such as grab bars, walk-in showers, higher toilets, widened doorways and wheelchair ramps. You will walk through how the program works, including eligibility requirements, the income-based cost structure and the application process. She’ll also explain how approved projects can be repaid with no interest.

SOLO AGERS KICKOFF
Join us for the launch of our new Solo Agers group! A solo ager is someone who is navigating the experience of aging independently, often without a built-in support system of nearby family or a partner. This member-facilitated group is designed to bring solo agers together in a welcoming, supportive space. Each month, participants will connect, share experiences and explore topics like building social connections to discovering ways to engage in the community. Together, the group will also brainstorm and plan fun outings, activities and opportunities to meet new friends. Solo agers are invited to be part of this growing community.
