Coauthored by ELAHP, the ARC model aims to prevent elder homelessness – or reduce its severity – by strengthening the ability to detect and housing instability risks, provide urgent care for complex legal problems, and affect systems change.
ARC-Year-3-Report-11.7.16Since July 2013, MLPB has partnered with the Elders Living at Home Program (ELAHP), on an initiative known as Aging Right in the Community. This work has exposed complicated elder homelessness risk factors and led us to observe the limits of current housing-based legal protections for victims of elder abuse by adult children.
