HOUSING NEEDS BY POPULATIONThe Frail and Non-Frail ElderlyAs defined by HUD, elderly households are one- or two-member (family or non-family) households inwhich the head or spouse is age 62 or older. In the City of Champaign, the elderly make up 9.9% of thepopulation (6,670 persons) according to the 2000 U.S. Census. Twenty-four percent of owner-occupiedhousing units are owned by persons over the age of 65. Only 5% of renters are over 65. Elderly womenoutnumber men in the City of Champaign 59% to 41%.For Champaign County, the U.S. Census Bureau states that 22,861 persons over 60 years of age residedhere in 2000, which constitutes 12.7% of the total population. Persons in this age group are likely to fallinto the frail elderly classification, since they are more likely to be unable to perform at least three dailyliving activities such as eating, dressing, bathing, grooming or household management actions.Figure 3-13: Champaign County Elderly Age-Group Distribution1800016000140001200010000800060004000200002000539119904812198043025355355347733845252529212278499619253948166531062175 1535 129560-64 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85+Age GroupSource: Champaign County Statistical Abstract 2004In the City of Champaign, 81% of persons over age 65 own their own homes, while only 19% rent. In astudy done by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP), Progress in the Housing of OlderPersons, 1999, the researchers found that older owners are less likely than younger owners to havemade home repairs and are more likely to have the work done by others when a home repair becomesnecessary. Sixty-three percent of low-income elderly owners are housing cost burdened, paying morethan 30% of their incomes for housing. Unable to physically or financially manage home repairs, thesehouseholds frequently turn to the City for housing rehab assistance. In the last five years, the City hasassisted 190 households make repairs through the Emergency Repair Program. Most of these repairsaddressed serious housing conditions that threatened the health and safety of the occupants, such asfurnace malfunctions, leaking roofs, and sewer line breaks.Mobility problems often arise for elderly owners living in units that were not designed for the agingpopulation. Steps, bathtubs, and narrow doorways often become obstacles. New homes built touniversal design standards (open floor plans, no-step entries, wider doors and corridors, and accessiblefixtures and countertops) allow individuals to remain in their own home much longer into their senioryears. For those living in homes built before much thought was given to accessibility, programs thatNeeds Assessment: Housing and Homelessness 41
provide structural modifications and remove mobility barriers will continue to be in great demand. SeeAppendix C for Universal Design Features.As more elderly persons choose to stay in their homes rather than move to nursing homes or assistedliving facilities, the demand for specialized in-home care also continues to increase. Family Service ofChampaign County provides caretakers and a Meal-on-Wheels program to elderly in need, as well ashome visits and other supportive services. Peace Meals also provides congregate and in-home meals tothe elderly. The Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, funded by the City, provides a SeniorMinor Home Repair Program to qualifying elderly persons still living in their homes for assistance withminor residential repair needs. These services have limited funding and staff that are already stretchedto capacity. More of these types of programs are likely to be needed as the population ages.For the elderly who are no longer financially able to live independently or for those living in inaccessiblehousing units that no longer suit them, subsidized housing may be the answer. The Housing Authorityalso offers 334 units of elderly housing in the county. These public housing units are in WashingtonSquare, Steer Place, Columbia Place, Skelton Place, Hayes Homes, and Youman Place. Vacancies insenior public housing complexes occur frequently.Locally, the greatest senior housing need for those incapable of independent living is for affordable,assisted units, also known as supportive living facilities. In Champaign-Urbana, there are few units ofsubsidized, assisted living. There is no one definition of assisted or supportive living, but most definitionsinclude 24-hour supervision, housekeeping, meal preparation, and assistance with activities of daily living.For elderly persons that require this minor amount of assistance but cannot afford the high cost of nonsubsidized,assisted living facilities, moving to a nursing home is often the only option. Nursing homeliving is not intended for elderly persons who are still in good general health and only need an increasedlevel of daily living assistance. An interim step, between independent living and nursing home care, isneeded in the continuum of affordable housing options for the elderly.Persons with Physical DisabilitiesAccording to U.S. Census 2000 data, there are 21,966 persons with disabilities living in ChampaignCounty which is 13.1% of the population. This includes sensory, physical, and mental disabilities. TheU.S. disability rate is 15.6%. Many believe that disabilities are underreported on the Census since manyindividuals do not consider themselves permanently disabled, although they have physical limitations dueto age or overall health. Persons Assuming Control of their Environment (PACE), estimates that up to20% of the population may have a mobility limitation at some time in their lives.The following graph indicates the age breakdown of disabled by disability type in Champaign County.Figure 3-14: Champaign County Population with Disabilities-Age and TypeDistribution5000450040003500300025002000150010005000SensoryPhysicalMental5 to 15 years 16 to 64 years 65 years and over42 Needs Assessment: Housing and HomelessnessSource: U.S. Census Bureau 2000
