The Center for Health and Aging Innovation (CHAI) at the NYU Silver School of Social Work looks to harness the power of intergenerational connection to increase the overall wellness of all generations. Our research, education, and community partnerships aim to promote equity among diverse populations.
With Intergenerational Home Sharing, CHAI fosters immediate intergenerational connection in the pairing of older and younger generations together to share living space.
