Generally, there has been a shift away from intergenerational living towards older individuals and households living without younger generations. These trends mean there is an increased burden on a smaller number of family members to provide informal caretaking for older family members. The main takeaway for planners is there is a growing need for housing and service options for aging adults, along with access to transit and community support (especially for more rural areas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-health-and-places-initiative-hapi-research-brief\"><strong>Health and Places Initiative (HAPI) Research
