The Elderly Homeless
Show Notes

The New York Times reported that there is a growing demographic of people experiencing homelessness, and it may surprise you who it is. People 55+, the second wave of the Baby Boomer generation, is now a fast growing segment of the homeless population in America, and their numbers on the streets are expected to triple...and that was before Covid 19 hit!

Jen and Carol discuss the story of Beth, a woman in her 70's who ended up homeless after her husband died. They will share about the lack of resources right now in the US for those in their retirement age and how we can all help make a difference to help those in their golden years not end up on the streets.
