In honor of May as “Older Americans Month,” the Montgomery County Commission on Aging will host its annual free forum on Thursday, May 16.
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Executive Office Building in Rockville. This year’s theme is “Reimagining Housing for Older Adults: Ideas and Actions to Make Housing Available, Affordable and Accessible.”
The forum will seek to identify modifications to governmental regulations, institutional policies and financing strategies to achieve increased affordability and access to a range of housing types.
“As we mark the occasion of Older Americans Month, I want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Montgomery County Commission on Aging for consistently addressing the ever-changing needs of our older adult population,” said County Executive Marc Elrich in a press release. “This event serves as a poignant reminder of the critical importance of ensuring that our older residents have not just housing options, but ones that are both affordable and accessible. It’s imperative that we come together as a community to engage in this essential dialogue. I urge all residents to actively participate in this vital conversation. Let’s work hand in hand to cultivate communities that are truly inclusive and supportive of our older adults here in Montgomery County.”
The Executive Office Building is located at 101 Monroe Street in Rockville.
