Yesterday, I attended the monthly
meeting of the Boulder County Aging Advisory Council. The meetings rotate
monthly through different locations in the county, and this time we were up in
the mountains at Allenspark. Here’s a picture of my car pool with Mount Meeker
and Longs Peak in the background.
One of the subjects we’re studying is
how to provide more senior housing options in the county. This is a real
challenge given the projected significant growth in aging population over the
next two decades. We need to find more flexible solutions that allow seniors to
age in place in their communities. Unfortunately, many local zoning regulations
go counter to some effective solutions such as multiple non-related adults
living in the same home and easily adding mother-in-law units to existing
property.
Do you have any good solutions to the
housing situation for older adults in your community?
