AnnotationThere is an increasing demand for affordable multi-family housing for a rapidly growing population of ethnic older people. Using the lived experiences of Korean American older people currently living in affordable housing in the Midwest as one such example, this study seeks to develop design guidelines to meet the specific living needs and desires of this ageing population. Verified against well-established building standards and accepted guidelines, these design recommendations lay the groundwork for multi-family housing that will assist older people to age in place in safe, healthier and happier environments.
