D.C. needs more senior-friendly housing that is affordable, accessible, and designed for long-term stability.

Regan supports:

Incentives and targeted funding to expand affordable senior housing development

Prioritizing public land and city partnerships to deliver senior housing where it’s needed most

Senior housing built with universal design (mobility-friendly, accessible, safe)

Resident-centered governance models and nonprofit stewardship to ensure housing remains mission-driven and community-aligned

For many seniors, the best option is staying where they are — but rising costs and deferred repairs can make that impossible.

Regan supports:

Expanded property tax relief options for eligible seniors to reduce displacement pressure

Home repair and accessibility support (ramps, bathroom modifications, safety upgrades)

Stronger protections and assistance to prevent housing loss due to utilities, emergency repairs, or sudden financial shocks

Coordination with trusted community providers to connect seniors to services and benefits they’ve earned.

Housing stability requires more than a roof — it requires reliable support.

Regan supports partnerships that improve access to:

Transportation options for seniors who need help getting to appointments and services

On-site or nearby care coordination through community health partners

Reliable information and navigation support so seniors can access benefits and resources without unnecessary barriers.

This framework is designed to be measurable, transparent, and protected from predatory practices.

Regan supports:

Clear affordability requirements and long-term stability protections for senior housing investments

Regular progress reporting and community feedback loops

Strong guardrails to prevent senior housing from being converted into speculative assets at the expense of residents

Regan supports starting with a pilot approach — launching targeted efforts first in areas with the greatest need and displacement pressure, then scaling citywide based on results, resident feedback, and operational readiness.
