COLLABORATIVE HOUSING AND OLDER PERSONS

ABSTRACT

Increasing life expectancy has important consequences for the economic growth, the budgetary stability, the health care, the long-term care, the welfare, and the social cohesion. The current moment is crucial to strike a balance between sustainable solutions for the social safety net the reinforcement of solidarity and intergenerational justice, and the accessibility of decent housing adapted to the new needs of the elderly. The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the loneliness of older people, to which health problems, unfavourable economic conditions, and lack of accessibility to housing are the major contributory factors. There are currently numerous initiatives that seek to organise housing (for the elderly or intergenerational). which we will address from the perspective of housing cooperatives or collaborative housing and financing proposals, with a special reference to the Valencian situation. © 2022 Malaysian Journal of Chemistry.All rights reserved.
