First and foremost, we must reform the property tax system to make sure senior homeowners are not displaced by their own government. Similarly we must ensure programs like [ Senior Citizen Homeowners' Exemption ] and [ Senior Citizen Rent Increase Exemption ] are fully funded, and expanded to protect more seniors. Next, we must continue to be in the business of constructing and staffing housing that is affordable to seniors, and housing with support services, so seniors can transition to a home that affords them the highest amount of dignity and autonomy.
