In an ideal world, senior housing would be accessible to everyone. A number of communities offer subsidized senior housing, but the cost of housing is out of reach for most seniors and their dependents. If you can find a popular assisted living community that offers Senior Housing or Affordable Senior Housing, you’ll have many other options to consider, including a nursing facility, community center, school or library, etc.
If you are not sure which community is right for you, there is a free community list at www.census.gov/cenp/community-assistance/list/.
Senior Housing in the U.S.

If you are not sure which community is right for you, visit the NASS Senior Housing website to get further information. For more information about senior housing in other countries, click here.
How Do I Apply for Senior Housing?
If you are interested in applying for an assisted living community for seniors and have some questions, please contact the senior housing administrator at the community where you are applying (this site will give all the details). It is best to do this at least one week before the beginning of the housing application period to ensure your application gets reviewed and approved.
