Data compiled by 10TV shows not only are shelters filling with older adults, but they are staying longer.

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kimberly Chandler, of Columbus, is among a growing number of people aged 55- years or older, who now find themselves living in a shelter. "A credit card company garnished my wages and then it became a domino effect. I lost my vehicle; I lost my job, and I lost my apartment," she says.

"My apartment goes for $1,035 on the market but I only pay $735 but they take 30% off because of my income," she says. Focus Strategies, a national research firm, predicts that the housing affordability crisis in Columbus and Franklin County will drive an 86% increase in unsheltered homelessness by 2028.

“People are coming into the shelter with more money. People are coming into the shelter employed. We have nurses we have fully employed people living within our shelter. What is that telling us? that is telling us that people are losing their housing that people don't have enough discretionary income,” she says.Columbus Housing Strategy
