intergenerational housing

Intergenerational housing refers to living arrangements where multiple generations of a family—such as grandparents, parents, and children—share a residence or live nearby. This setup promotes close family bonds, shared financial responsibilities, and mutual support, especially beneficial for caregiving and reducing living costs. It can take various forms, including multigenerational homes, duplexes, or nearby houses designed to facilitate interaction while respecting individual privacy. Intergenerational housing supports aging in place, enhances family resilience, and fosters community connections across age groups.
