Teaneck developed this action plan to enhance its affordable housing stock and identify better housing options for older adults. The plan supports aging in place by helping older residents and landlords retrofit their properties to improve safety and accessibility, encourages banks to provide low-interest loans for home repairs, and identifies potential development sites for market rate and affordable housing.

Partnering with our local medical center and other health and social services providers to host annual health and resource fair; Raising awareness of the value of older adults to the community.Communication and Information
Educating older adults and caregivers about aging-in-place options through our website, print and electronic newsletters, a blog, and social media posts.
