From Urgency to Action

A Regional Summit on Older Adult Homelessness

About the summit.

This event brought together leaders from homelessness services, aging, and health care to address the urgent and growing crisis of older adult homelessness in the Mid-Atlantic region. Together, key partners from Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania highlighted innovative practices, built cross-sector relationships, and developed actionable strategies to improve housing and health outcomes for older adults experiencing or at risk of homelessness.

This event was organized by Homebase, a national nonprofit dedicated to preventing and ending homelessness. Homebase brings people together around a shared vision for ending homelessness, advancing transformative strategies to turn that vision into practical reality.

Thank you to all who attended and made the summit a success!
