Downtown on the Go Friday Forum: Aging in Place (Jan. 24, 2020)

January 26, 2020

This year Channel 253 is partnering with Downtown on the Go as a media sponsor of DOTG’s Friday Forums. We think that the topic is a good fit with our Crossing Division podcasts, so we will record the Friday Forum and then record an episode of Crossing Division that follows up or expands on the issues in the Forum.

For January 2020 the Friday Forum topic was Aging in Place: Affordable housing is an ongoing issue, and there are unique challenges for older adults in securing housing situations that meet their needs. Leaders and service providers in Tacoma and Pierce County discuss how we sustainably house our aging neighbors and community members.

Panelists:

  • Ali Modarres, University of Washington Tacoma
  • Matt Santelli, Pierce County Aging and Disability Resource Center
  • Adriane Wilson, Community Organizer
  • Tanisha Jumper, City of Tacoma (Moderator)

Listen to the forum, and then hop over to the Crossing Division podcast “Let’s Talk About Innovative Senior Housing Options Available Right Now!”

Let us know your thoughts on the Forum and podcast. You can message us @Channel253 and contact podcast host Evelyn Lopez @True_Tacoma or truetacoma@gmail.com.
