Open Requests From: Family Service Rochester

Aging Services is seeking Housing Mentors to share their experience and help someone navigate a home transition.

Have you been through a housing transition yourself?

Downsized?

Moved to a senior residence community or some other housing arrangement?

Share your experience to help someone navigate a home transition!

The HOME (Housing, Outreach, Mentorship, and Empowerment) program will help older adult homeowners explore housing options and the services they may need to make a confident housing transition. The program will also help the community learn what older adults need, want, and value when considering their next home.

There’s no place like the home you choose.
