Who isn’t concerned.

On Saturday, April 13 we invite you to the Firehouse to join Mark Valdez, Mixed Blood’s Artistic Director, for a conversation with guests, including Elizabeth Glidden, Deputy Executive Director of the Minnesota Housing Partnership.

Do you know where you are going to live when you get old? Join us for a conversation and story swap about the current state of housing for older adults. We’ll play a new game, eat some cheesecake, and imagine a future where no one is unhoused.

Seniors are the fastest-growing demographic across the state. With a unique set of care and housing needs, we have an opportunity to reimagine and create equitable housing policies. This Chit Chat is a chance to talk about the challenges to address this need and discuss our desires for the future.

This event is research for The Pasture, a new play by Mark-n-Sparks about Senior Housing.
