Abstract
As the age of initially supplied of public rental housing exceeds three decades, there is an intensification in the aging of residents. The majority of elderly residents are classified as low-income, frequently rendering them eligible for various government policy initiatives. Consequently, employing public rental housing as a platform to support Aging in Place (AIP) for elderly residents proves to be exceedingly effective. The objective of this research is to devise support programs within public rental housing, specifically tailored to facilitate AIP. To accomplish this, comprehensive literature reviews and expert Delphi methods were utilized, determining 81 distinct support programs. These programs were systematically categorized into six categories: Housing Management/Living Support, Employment/Economic Activity Support, Daily Life Support, Care Support, Medical/Health Support, and Leisure/Culture/Education/Social Activity Support. These categories were then further divided into 24 subcategories. Findings from this investigation could serve as foundational data for formulating strategies to develop spaces and provide services that can support AIP in public rental housing in the future.
