Monday, Oct. 28 at 7pm
Hybrid Event

Many Newton seniors face the choice between remaining in a home that no longer suits them and moving away from their community of friends and family.

We’ll look at the challenges as well as opportunities for Newton to encourage a wider range of innovative housing options that fit the diverse preferences and needs of the city’s older residents. 

Featured Speakers: Jennifer Molinsky, director of the Housing an Aging Society Program at the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard and Liz Heyer, president of 2Life Communities. Both are residents of Newton.

Housing & Opportunity

A diverse range of homes for families, for people who work in Newton to live in Newton, for staying in Newton when down sizing, and for our adult children to return to live here.

Housing & Community

Thriving villages, people living in the village and nearby, public gathering spaces all help build a strong and welcoming community in Newton.

Housing & Sustainability

Living near transit, and villages helps reduce our dependence on cars. Safer streets makes it easier for walkers and bikers to get to school, go to a village or see friends.
