Aging-In-Place expert Louis Tenenbaum, talks about legislation to support home modifications for older adults.

Send us a text. We love to hear from our fans.The bulk of our existing home inventory was built in the 1950"s for young and growing families. These homes do not meet the needs of an aging population, many of whom live alone.  In order to age with dignity in our home and remain in our community, we need to plan for the future and identify solutions that will effectively reduce fall risk, increase accessibility and function. Louis Tenenbaum, a speaker, consultant,  writer, and founder and president of the HomesRenewed Coalition, is proposing the government provide financial incentives in the form of tax breaks and penalty free withdrawals from investments to help pay for eligible home modifications that will  help keep older adults safe and thriving as they age. HomesRenewed is leading the research for smart, cost-effective policy that reduces the cost of updating homes. Please listen to learn more about how you can help pass the bi-partisan Home Modification and Accessibility ACT H.R. 7676 by writing to your local congressperson and senator. Write to your Representative: https://p2a.co/0lTt5rfSupport the Show.website: https://homedesignsforlife.com/Email: homedesignsforlife@gmail.com
