Home Equity

Helping older adults use their home to stay at home

Millions of older adults are "house rich but cash poor." They own their homes, but their annual income makes it difficult — or impossible — to make ends meet or get the care they need.

The good news is that more than 13 million older adults have equity in their homes that they could use to help them stay independent.

We're a national leader in educating older adults about how they can tap their home equity wisely.
