The Senior Housing Crisis episode from South Florida’s PBS station delves into the region’s housing affordability crisis and its impact on seniors. I had the chance to share my journey creating Sunset Colonies, highlighting how this issue is explored in both the monograph and the exhibition at the Frost Art Museum.
During the early stages of documentation, I noticed that many of the communities facing eviction were home to seniors living modestly on Social Security or disability checks. South Florida’s soaring cost of living made it increasingly difficult for them to remain in the area.
