A new website that addresses senior housing crisis issues is now available at this link: Senior Housing Crisis. The site is the work of Julie Gilgoff, a 2017-18 Borchard Fellow, who worked on alternative approaches to senior housing in the Bay Area in California. The site is a useful, national resource for advocates and anyone interested in exploring creative housing solutions and policies like community living, community land trusts, co-operative housing, and more. 

The National Aging and Law Conference (NALC) is now accepting proposals for the 2019 conference, to be held October 31st–November 1st in Arlington, Virginia.

NALC is the only national conference on law and aging focusing primarily on older adults with the greatest social and economic needs. The presenter-driven conference is led by attorneys and advocates who deliver services to older adults. The planning committee seeks a mixture of proven experts and new voices each year.

The Borchard Center on Law and Aging has been a proud sponsor of the conference for several years.

Workshop proposals are due by March 1st, 2019.

Further information, as well as a workshop proposal template, are available on the ABA COLA website.
