As part of our Intergenerational Housing Learning Network, Generations United is spotlighting different intergenerational housing initiatives around the country. The final profile features three similar models of intentional intergenerational communities: Bridge Meadows, Treehouse Foundation, and Hope Meadows. In these models, families with children impacted by foster care live alongside their older adult neighbors. This intentional design fosters connection. The older adults become mentors, tutors, and in some cases “honorary grandparents” to the children, offering stability, care, and a listening ear. Be sure to read the profile and visit the websites linked above to learn more about these exciting projects.
