HENRY CISNEROS - Independent for Life
Sat. 05/26 | 2:00PM @ Bookpeople (map)
- Event Details
- Former HUD Secretary HENRY CISNEROS will speak & sign Independent for Life: Homes and Neighborhoods for an Aging America. Do you want to age independently in your own home and neighborhood? Staying home, aging in place, is most people's preference, but most American housing and communities are not adapted to the needs of older people. And with the fastest population growth among people over 65, finding solutions for successful aging is important not only for individual families, but for our whole society. In Independent for Life, former HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros and a team of experts on aging, architecture, construction, health, finance, and politics assess the current state of housing and present new possibilities that realistically address the interrelated issues of housing, communities, services, and financial concerns. HENRY CISNEROS, former Secretary of Housing and Urban Development and four-term mayor of San Antonio, is Executive Chairman of CityView, a company that specializes in urban real estate, in-city housing, and metropolitan infrastructure. Cisneros is the author of several books, including Interwoven Destinies: Cities and Nation and Our Communities, Our Homes: Pathways to Housing and Homeownership in America’s Cities and States. In order to have anything signed at a BookPeople event, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople.
