Journal of Housing for the Elderly
http://www.haworthpress.com/store/product.asp?sku=J081

The Journal of Housing for the Elderly® aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community. The journal's goal is the rapid publication of new research in the housing and aging fields as well as the synthesis of cross-disciplinary efforts made to enhance the residences of the elderly. This journal is useful for scholars, policymakers, legislators, architects and urban planners, lending institutions, religious groups, developers, and the lay public in general who have an interest in the subject‹personal, professional, or civic. The journal covers the latest efforts of housing researchers and policy experts‹from research on energy conservation or privacy needs to policy implications of home equity conversion. It also examines management issues, housing related service delivery innovations, case histories of successful housing alternatives, and financing strategies. The journal covers such areas as:

* identification of salient housing issues that primarily involve the elderly;
* case studies of successful practitioner experiences regarding the development of better housing facilities for the elderly;
* refinement of existing methodologies and/or the development of new ones for evaluating the behavioral, programmatic, and adaptational consequences of differential residential environments;
* translation of research data into more usable informational modes for researchers and practitioners alike;
* articulation of the issues and problems in the development and implementation of housing policies for the elderly.
