Intergenerational co-living spaces are growing

Intergenerational co-living models are growing worldwide, and the benefits are clear — they can solve housing problems while fostering meaningful social interactions between age cohorts. Singapore’s first facility of this kind seeks to offer a richer alternative to the country’s existing eldercare options, such as retirement kampungs, community care apartments and traditional assisted living facilities. The operators are also mulling a benefits program to facilitate cross-generational connections, offering rent discounts for young residents who contribute to senior community engagement efforts.
