We all deserve a place to call home at every stage of life.
About this Event

What if our neighborhoods were designed to support us as we age—so that more of us could stay in the communities we love? Generations x Place will bring together national expertise and local leaders to explore how Omaha can build homes and communities that support residents at every stage of life.

Join us on Wednesday, April 29th from 6–7:30pm at Omaha's new Central Library to discover what cities and states across the country are doing to expand housing options and build age-friendly communities. Through an expert presentation and cross-sector panel, you'll explore how home design, housing policy, and social connection all shape whether older adults can truly age in place—and what Omaha can do to meet the needs of its changing population.

Featuring AARP Government Affairs Director, Samar Jha, alongside local leaders who are working to meet the needs of older adults, this event connects the growing need for age-friendly housing to the broader supports an aging population depends on. Building on We Make Omaha’s community vision, Generations x Place will be a conversation about designing a city where residents of all ages can thrive.
