Florida seniors are facing a housing shortage.

Government money for low cost, low income senior housing has been nixed. In 2005, Florida received 650 million federal dollars for senior housing. In 2012, the state received zero. State Representative Mark Pafford is sponsoring a memorial asking Congress to send more cash.

“There are nearly 300-thousand seniors living in six thousand housing units in the nation, at least 10 seniors are on a wait list for each unit that becomes available,” said Pafford.

By 2030 one out of every five Americans will be a senior. Nearly half retire without a pension.
