Tiny Houses Can Help Reduce a Huge Affordable-Housing Shortage.

A 2022 AARP Community Challenge project in Pensacola, Florida, shows how.

Council on Aging of West Florida is often contacted by or on behalf of older residents in desperate need of housing and asking for help. In most cases, all the Pensacola, Florida-based agency can do is tell people to get on the region’s waiting lists for senior housing.

In 2022, the agency chose to address the housing problem directly by using its AARP Community Challenge grant for a housing-related demonstration project. “Housing is the biggest need,” explains Emily Echevarria, and it has the potential for the “biggest impact."
