Ageism, Employment, and Innovative Housing Solutions for Older Adults

with Elizabeth White,

Founder, NuuAge Coliving

This week on the Art of Aging, we revisit a great conversation from a previous episode as Rev. Beth Long-Higgins chats with Elizabeth White, author, aging advocate, and Founder of NuuAge Coliving. During the episode, Elizabeth shares her personal experience with ageism and her shift from employment advocacy to housing solutions for older adults. Elizabeth discusses her book “55, Underemployed, and Faking Normal,” her TED talk, and her venture, NuuAge Co-Living. She highlights her efforts to create affordable, community-oriented housing for middle-income older adults, addressing issues like loneliness and the need for supportive environments. Elizabeth’s vision includes integrating amenities, fostering community connections, and so much more!
