OGA's 2023 Virtual Annual Conference

Register Here for "Exploring the Concept of Home as We Age" 

Older adults want a robust selection of housing options. It will take the public, private and non-profit sectors working together to create housing options for people of all income ranges, urban as well as rural, and needing varying degrees of care.

“Exploring the Concept of Home As We Age” will include discussions of innovative housing options, including affordable housing options, aging in place versus community living, tips and tools for planning ahead, and more. The conference will broaden our understanding of the latest information that will help you as a professional in aging services, as a family caregiver, or as a consumer.
