Living on social security can be frightening by itself and then you are unable to find an affordable place to live.
What happens when life changes in an instant? Death of a spouse, loss of a home, loss of a job?

- Housing prices are outpacing those older adults’ incomes in some cities. The median cost of a one-bedroom apartment in Phoenix, for example, is $1,049 a month, while the average monthly Social Security benefit in Arizona — which 30 percent of the state’s retirees rely on as their only income — is just $1,273.
- According to the 2015 Arizona Department of Economic Report on the Aging homeless population: Over 700 individuals being age 62 or older revealed that just in the last 4 years they have been homeless. There has been a 53% increase in homelessness in people age 62 and over.
- With more than 10,000 people turning 65 each day, that figure will soon apply to those in the middle, senior living income market.
Giving OPTIONS to seniors will help them not miss out on benefits that could help them cover food, housing, medication and other expenses because they are not aware of support programs for which they qualify, the Delia Foundation will work with seniors to discover resources and opportunities they may not have been aware of.
