Admission by donation.

The second annual Changing Landscapes forum will showcase a variety of innovative housing choices that enable everyone to remain in the community as we age and our capacities change.   

This is an opportunity to explore these models and consider how these models could be available in the Jewish community.

Four panelists will speak about a variety of housing models and living arrangements that facilitate aging in place.

Following the presentations, participants will have an opportunity to meet with individual panel members to discuss the models in more detail.
