By fostering shared living spaces between students and older adults, the project aims to reduce loneliness and financial hardship while promoting mutual support. Using interviews, surveys, and case studies, we examine the benefits and barriers of implementation. We also consider how university policies, funding, and community partnerships can support this model. Ultimately, this initiative offers a sustainable, inclusive approach to housing that strengthens community and promotes lifelong learning.1 posteren-USThe author owns the copyright to this work.
