Housing For The Elderly

The respondents in this study are those who entered two independently administered low income elderly housing projects in northwestern Vermont during the summer of 1971. The central hypothesis examined is that the alienating effects of the move will vary inversely with the tenant's ability to maintain established and acquire new social relationships. In general, the results were consistent with hypothesized expectations.

Housing For The Elderly

Abstract Objective: To analyze Brazilian scientific production on housing for autonomous elderly persons. Method: A descriptive, analytical integrative review type study was carried out. The following guiding question was defined: what is the Brazilian scientific production relating to housing for autonomous elderly persons in indexed on-line periodicals from 2000 to 2015? Results: Thirty-three articles were identified in total, of which only 13 met the inclusion criterion. Using the Content Analysis technique, the following categories were formed: Modalities of housing for the elderly; Public housing policies for the elderly and Housing and quality of life. Conclusion: Most of the studies discussed types of housing for the elderly, falling into the category "Modalities of housing for the elderly", and identifying a tendency towards one-person dwellings. In relation to the category "Public housing policies for the elderly", the articles reflected on the rights and the guarantees of the elderly in relation to a suitable home. The "Housing and quality of life" category aimed to compare the quality of life of elderly people living alone or with a partner, as well as their perception of exclusive condominium developments for this population. There is a need for research on the issue in question, since there is an increase in the number of elderly people without housing, making it necessary for the state to meet this demand.

Comprehensive Picture

This article summarizes and reviews the cross-discipline literature on violent crime in destination neighborhoods postrelocation in order to build a more comprehensive picture of risk factors for violence, as well as how and why housing policies influence risk of violence. High rates of violent crime continue to be a persistent problem in areas of concentrated poverty and public housing. Modern housing programs such as Moving to Opportunity and Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere are popular interventions for reducing the density of low-income people receiving public housing assistance by relocating residents of distressed housing projects. However, evidence suggests that relocated residents may not experience less violence or improved safety in their new communities.

Visually Impaired Persons

Declining vision adds to the frustrations and deprivations which make the life of the elderly difficult. This opinion is supported by the experience of clinicians and other providers of services to the visually impaired. However, there is little systematic information available about those elderly visually impaired persons who do not come to clinicians and social agencies for help. Our aim is to describe how reduced vision affects a part of the general population of elderly people.

Economic and racial—ethnic housing patterns of FHA Section 236 moderate-income and federally aided low-income public housing projects were examined in order to determine the relationships between the tenant-selection process, neighborhood racial—ethnic mix, and housing-occupancy patterns. The overall results show that in moderate-income neighborhoods federal income-admissions and integration regulations were successfully implemented regardless of the economic type of the project. In low-income neighborhoods federal income admissions and integration regulations were unsuccessfully implemented for projects of both economic types.
