These statistics stopped me in my tracks.
The aging population in Texas is growing rapidly — but affordable, community-centered housing options are not keeping pace.
According to the Houston-Galveston Area Agency on Aging:
• 1 in 2 renters are cost-burdened
• 3.1 million Texans are unpaid caregivers
• Social isolation is a growing health risk for older adults
At Haven House Living, we believe housing should support dignity, stability, independence, and connection — not isolation.
As we recognize Older Americans Month, I’m reflecting deeply on the growing need for community-centered aging solutions.
