CCCE POLICY PROPOSAL: The CAHRE “Caregiver Affordable Housing for a Resilient Economy” model is an innovative approach to building healthy, stable, and resilient communities and ageing in place in NYC. It is about providing deeply affordable housing for low- and moderate-income healthcare workers in proximity to the senior and disabled people that they serve to enhance health care services provided at the local level as part of neighborhood social infrastructure. Based on the number of seniors and people with disabilities in a neighborhood, a percentage of affordable housing units should be allocated for direct care workers whether through new construction, adaptive reuse, or distribution in an existing residential building.
