KUSI News reported this week on San Diego Seniors Community Foundation’s recent senior center assessment, the first-ever report of its kind conducted in San Diego.
By 2030, more than a third of San Diego County’s population will be older than 55, totaling about 1.2 million individuals. The county’s senior centers, however, are underfunded and severely lacking the resources to properly manage the booming population of seniors.
