Abstract: The purpose of this thesis was to conduct an analysis of the Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly Act of 2010, including relevant historical policies and the act’s effectiveness in housing low-income older adults. This research utilized a qualitative design and involved an analysis of primary and secondary data sources which included historical legislation, government reports, and data sets, older adult-focused agency reports, and peer-reviewed journal articles. The Section 202 Act allowed the government to offer approved non-profit agencies interest-free loans to support the construction of housing projects for this population. Rental subsidies were also offered to tenants based on their monthly income. Unfortunately, inconsistent program funding has limited the construction of new housing projects to house more vulnerable older adults. Social workers must advocate for increased funding of the only older adult-focused housing program and support eligible individuals in the application process as funding becomes available.
