Description
Tam Perry and co-authors describe, in a 2024 talk report, a Detroit coalition that fights for senior housing fairness. Since 2013, Senior Housing Preservation-Detroit has pushed back as gentrification displaces older adults and erases low-cost senior homes. The group joins health, housing, and aging advocates.
Coalition members speak at city council meetings and forums at state, national, and world levels. Their record holds peer-reviewed articles, a white paper, book chapters, and a documentary film. In 2023 the group won a national award for structural change in social work. The talk covers turning points, lessons learned, and outreach in senior buildings during COVID-19. Current work builds an emergency plan for the city's older residents.
