The National Neighbors Silver Campaign promotes access to adequate affordable housing and quality banking services and for older adults.
National Neighbors Silver works with the banking industry, the aging network and housing experts, to provide solutions for the economic security of older adults.
The National Neighbors Silver Campaign engages in the following activities to help seniors to become economically secure:
- Advocates with community-based partners and allies to develop better policies for older adults for affordable senior housing, accessibility and fairness. Examples of this may include empowering financial service providers to help detect and prevent financial crimes that exploit older adults or preventing home contractor fraud.
- Educating and empowering low-income and moderate-income older adults.
- Identifying financial stressors facing seniors
- Motivating change by decision makers.
The National Neighbors Silver Campaign's Housing Counseling Network and National Training Academy provides older adults and caregivers with senior housing help including workshops, meetings, and seminars.
