Repairing senior citizens housing

Context

The importance of repairing senior citizens housing emerged notably in the late 20th century, as aging populations in developed and developing countries drew attention to deteriorating residential conditions affecting elders’ health and social well-being. International awareness increased through reports such as the United Nations’ “Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing” (2002), which underscored the urgent need for safe, accessible, and well-maintained housing to support dignified aging and active social participation worldwide.
