SUMMARY:Housing Policy\, Health Policy and Aging Populations: Intersections and Imperatives
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, November 15\, 5:00pm – 6:00pm \n           ZOOM: Register for Zoom Link \n           Speaker: Jim Dunn\, PhD\nProfessor and Chair of the Department of Health\, Aging and Society\, McMaster University \n           Co-Sponsors: Cohousing Hamilton and Hamilton Aging in Community \n“There is a great deal of concern about the aging of the population and what it will mean for health services\, long-term care facility capacity\, etc. and at the same time frequent discussions about ‘aging-in-place’ and ‘age-friendly cities’\, etc. Relatively little in these discussions considers the importance of charting strategic future directions for housing\, transportation and home-based supports. In the Greater Golden Horseshoe\, the number of people over the age of 80 will grow by 700\,000 people by 2041\, so the need to better coordinate housing and institutional care is urgent. I will discuss some important ways to frame the issues and some future applied research directions.” \nJames R. Dunn\, Ph.D. (Jim) is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Health\, Aging and Society at McMaster University and a Scientist at the MAP Centre for Urban Health Solutions at St. Michael’s Hospital in Toronto. He holds the Senator William McMaster Chair in Urban Health Equity at McMaster University and is the Director of the McMaster Institute for Health Equity. He has held numerous awards and appointments\, including the William Lyon Mackenzie King Visiting Chair in Canadian Studies at Harvard University in 2011-2012. In 2020\, he established the Canadian Housing Evidence Collaborative (CHEC)\, a knowledge mobilization and research capacity-building hub funded by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Trained in urban health geography and social epidemiology\, he has published widely in geography\, public health\, urban planning and epidemiology and has worked closely with governments at all levels to address issues related to the effects of income security\, housing\, urban development on health and healthy child development. His research program has a strong focus on ‘population health interventions’ and includes projects on the health\, social and child development impacts of public housing redevelopment in Toronto’s Regent Park\, the development of policy implementation tools for healthier urban form\, and the effects of subsidized housing on mental health and well-being. From 2017-2018\, he was co-Principal Investigator of the Ontario Basic Income Pilot\, a bold study of the effects of a guaranteed annual income on a variety of health\, work and social outcomes\, involving 6\,000 participants in 3 communities in Ontario. \nTo Register: send an email to Hamiltonagingcommunity@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Cohousing 101 – Introductory Webinar
DESCRIPTION:When: Saturday\, December 5\, 10:30am – 12:30pm \nJoin us for an introduction to cohousing and learn how it addresses social isolation\, affordability issues\, sustainability\, co-care and more. We will also be presenting the cohousing community that is forming in Hamilton and discussing what intergenerational cohousing looks like. \nCohousing allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds\, where you can choose the balance between privacy and community that’s right for you. Enjoy new friends\, new skills and improved health in a setting that combines a sense of connection\, cooperation\nand mutual support. The modern version of cohousing was formed in Denmark in the mid-1960s. Since then it has been transformed into a worldwide phenomenon. \nThis webinar is repeated a few times a year. Attendees at earlier sessions should check the website Cohousing Hamilton for other information and opportunities to become involved. \nTo register for Zoom Link\, please contact Judy Shepalo at 905-517-6494 or cohousinghamilton@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Enhancing access to quality long-term care services for older LGBTQ persons
DESCRIPTION:Gilbrea Centre for Studies on Aging Seminar Series\nat McMaster University\n  \nAlisa Grigorovich will be speaking about: \nOlder lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, trans and queer-identified (LGBTQ) adults\, like the general older adult population\, would prefer to age in place in their community for as long as possible. However\, while there is growing attention to later life sexualities in empirical literature and health professional education\, gaps remain in knowledge regarding older LGBTQ adults living with chronic illness/disabilities in Canada. Drawing on recent research with this population\, Alisa Grigorovich will explore their care experiences and needs and identify the importance of fostering home care providers’ competency in providing affirming and respectful care. She will argue for the need to engage in arts-based and visual methods for education and knowledge translation in this regard\, and present an example of the development of such an initiative\, called ‘Out at Home.’
