Conversation Ready NTX
Conversation Ready NTX is a grass roots initiative to not only encourage people to have the conversation but also have their wishes respected. We want to help de-stigmatize the topic of end-of-life planning. We want to help empower people to think about how they want to live at the end of their life. We want to help family members and health care proxies understand how important it is to discuss what their loved ones would want at the end of their life. We want to help make North Texas “Conversation Ready”.
For seniors who have modest incomes, paying for housing- whether a home they own, a rental, or a room in a facility that provides additional senior care assistance- can feel nearly impossible.
There are resources available for seniors who have inadequate incomes to pay the above housing costs. Finding a low-income housing option isn’t always easy, but knowing which government and nonprofit programs exist to help with housing can make all the difference. Click on the link below and you’ll find information on programs that provide housing assistance to low-income seniors with a variety of housing needs.
