Anyone else affected by the Low Income Senior Housing Crisis?

Someone said a mobile home park .... I have thought about that .... there are 2 around here .... one is crime-ridden, and the other which is really nice is too expensive for me. I would love one of those though. I've also wondered about renting one of those "tiny houses" but they're not usually for rent ... you have to buy one. I checked into one and the woman said "it's only $19,000" .... BUT that's just for them to deliver the wood! Then it has to be built and all the furnishings inside purchased.
I'm beginning to understand why some older people say, "I feel like we've been forgotten."

Why not double up with a senior roommate? Rent a house, split costs?

Hi Barb, I love those tiny house videos because the spaces are so carefully thought out and utilized. If I could have my wish. I would have a small sized house that is carefully designed. The $19,000 would be easy but finding someone to build it for you is a big problem.

Cautionary tale!
My cousin decided to have a kitchen remodel and a man started on it and took his time and then died! The kitchen was knocked down to the walls and they had already paid a lot of money to him which they never got back!

We still don't know what we are going to do, have you figured out how to proceed?
