The General Assembly of the State recognizes that the quality of housing affects every aspect of an older individual’s life, from the physical to the psychological. For many older Delawareans, maintaining themselves in a suitable environment is an ongoing battle. Some are unnecessarily forced into nursing homes because of the unavailability of housing that matches their physical needs or financial resources. In other cases, housing and/or relocation decisions are made without knowledge of the resources or alternatives available.
