Partnerships across housing, transportation, aging and disability, and health are essential to ensure housing stability. Transportation is necessary for community living. With transportation assistance, many older adults and people with disabilities can shop for groceries, get to medical appointments, stay connected and engaged, and otherwise access everyday locations and participate in their community.
Partnering to help people connect to transportation options is therefore a critical component of making community living possible.
