Revitalize senior homes and create community land bank

The idea

Revitalize senior homes to create more affordable housing units and increase elder equity/generational wealth. Create community housing wellness collaborative on landbank in Boston for seniors rising population so they may age-in-place with dignity.

Who it helps and why

The aging of the Baby Boomer generation presents both a challenge and opportunity for cities like Boston. By leveraging the resources that we have available to us, we can build a sustainable, equitable future where seniors thrive, communities stabilize, and housing remains a public good, not a speculative commodity. The Community Land Bank and Wellness Collaborative would take an intersectional approach to development with strategic investment, public-private partnerships, and community stewardship, to ensure sustainability, upward mobility, environmental resilience, and collective well-being. This model preserves neighborhoods, improves health outcomes, and treats housing as a public good, honoring seniors as anchors of community stability. This land bank model is not just about housing — it is about designing systems of health and wealth that honor the legacy of Boston’s seniors while preparing for the next generations to come. Through coordinated capacity building, inclusive partnerships, and continuous learning, this initiative will anchor neighborhoods in equity, sustainability, and collective well-being. *I have a formal proposal already written, and can create a formal presentation upon request
