Show Notes
Our rapidly growing aging population is facing an immediate housing crisis. Census data showed an 83% increase in renters over the age of 65 and a decrease in home ownership.

Seán Moynihan, CEO of ALONE, a national organisation that supports older people, joined Ivan to discuss this issue and the policies that could help address.
