- 요약The confluence of population aging, rising housing costs, and a weakening social safety net has ushered in a new era of late-life housing insecurity. More adults than ever before are aging at the precipice of housing loss, requiring pillars of healthy aging, such as time with family and friends, adequate nutrition, and access to medical care, to be sacrificed. These challenges are most pronounced for older adults with low incomes who access housing through the private rental market. Public retirement benefits are increasingly inadequate in the face of rising rental prices, while subsidized rental units remain scarce. As the health and functioning of these renters decline, public programs deliver services to promote healthy and safe aging at home while reducing the use of higher-cost care, such as skilled nursing facilities. However, the rising prevalence and severity of housing insecurity among older adults undermine the relevance and effectiveness of these home and community-based services (HCBS). Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) are common providers of these services and are increasingly investing in partnerships and programs to respond to housing insecurity and homelessness among their clients. One common response is one-off rental assistance to alleviate a financial crisis. Far less common is recurring rental assistance to address the chronic unaffordability experienced by many low-income renters. Through a randomized evaluation of a pilot shallow rental subsidy (SS) program at one AAA, this study provides the first experimental evidence of how this form of rental assistance impacts the housing insecurity and health of older HCBS clients. Results from the program's first six months showed a complex relationship between the SS and the multidimensional concept of housing insecurity. Objectively, clients who received an SS spent less of their income on rent, but that difference was not reflected in the affordability metric that included subjective items. No differences were observed along the dimension of housing stability, as housing loss and moves were rare during the study period. The SS program was associated with improved housing safety and decency, which was surprising given the limited control renters have over their living environments. While physical health did not improve, program participants reported higher rates of health-improving behaviors, which may be a precursor to better health outcomes in the future. The SS program positively impacted mental health and financial well-being, as program participants worried less about making ends meet. Findings suggest that an SS can be a meaningful complement to HCBS among housing-insecure clients while pointing to critical programmatic and policy questions regarding when and how such a program should be administered at scale.
