Film Screening: "No Place to Grow Old"

For ages 16 years and up.

About the Program

Watch No Place to Grow Old, the first documentary to explore the growing crisis of older adults aging into homelessness. The film reveals the unthinkable reality of people who worked, paid taxes, and raised families, now finding themselves without shelter later in life.

About the Film

Set in Portland, Oregon, the documentary follows three older adults navigating life on the streets. Through their personal stories of loss and resilience, the film exposes both the human cost and systematic abandonment that pushes vulnerable seniors into homelessness.

The result is both an urgent wake-up call and testament to human dignity, challenging us to build a future where everyone has a safe and stable place to call home.
