This event will focus on four women panelists who, either by choice or circumstance, are “aging in place” and on the community resources they can use to support them – including Ashby Village, North Oakland Village and TTN’s own Caring Collaborative.
The panel will discuss the positives and the challenges of their experiences, and how their decisions to remain in either their own homes or rentals motivated them to become part of specific community resources they are using to support themselves. Members of Ashby Village and North Oakland Village will discuss how this membership provides both social contacts and assistance with medical services.
Co-sponsored by TTN-Home and Ashby Village
About the “East Bay Housing Options Series”:
This is TTN-HOME's in-depth monthly series that addresses issues designed to help participants identify available housing options and develop a plan to realize their own long-term housing objectives. In addition to the educational presentations and networking opportunities, attendees also receive emails from TTN-HOME about housing vacancies, housing wanted and announcements of other housing events occurring in the Bay Area.
About “TTN-Home: A Community for Women Over 50 Exploring Housing Options”:
The Transition Network (“TTN”) is a nationwide organization of women over the age of 50 who are dealing with transitions in their lives – career, health, housing and relationships. Several San Francisco Bay Area TTN members, some faced with their own housing issues, created “TTN-HOME”, an initiative sponsored by our local TTN chapter in association with the Brain Exchange.
TTN-HOME focuses on women over 50 seeking housing options and who are eager to maximize their independence as they get older. By focusing solely on housing-related questions and issues, TTN-HOME provides resources, networking and creative thinking.
