The Supportive Senior Housing Initiative seeks to integrate the benefits of assisted living developments into state-aided public housing for elderly and handicapped persons. Jointly developed by the Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities (EOHLC) and the Executive Office of Elder Affairs, the program seeks to help seniors maintain their independence and "age in place" by providing better access to supportive services such as case management, 24-hour on-site personal care staff, housekeeping, a daily meals program, medication reminders, transportation, shopping and laundry services to elders within their senior housing complexes.
