Forum explore housing concerns

| April 9, 2019 1:00 AM

SANDPOINT — Housing insecurities don’t end once persons have a house or apartment to call their own.

Older adults — well, other persons too — need to consider home safety as a potential insecurity. And what about health care costs and food costs? They too can be sources of anxiety and insecurity in our homes.

Housing insecurity, health care, and Area Aging on Aging are among the topics that will be explored at today’s Geezer Forum.

Guest speakers include Dan English, executive director of Area Agency on Aging, and Rob Orth, a Sandpoint Realtor who formerly coordinated in-home outreach services to seniors.

The program will be held from 2:30-4 p.m., February 26, in the Community Room at Columbia Bank. Geezer Forum is hosted by Paul Graves, writer of “Dear Geezer” in The Daily Bee.
