As the crisis of senior homelessness continues to grow in Oregon, the Springfield History Museum, in collaboration with the City of Springfield Housing Program and AARP Oregon, is bringing this urgent issue to the forefront with a special screening of No Place to Grow Old.
The thought-provoking documentary, directed by Davey Schaupp and produced by Humans for Housing, sheds light on the systemic challenges facing aging populations and shares the deeply personal stories of those experiencing homelessness later in life.
The screening will take place at the Wildish Community Theater on March 28. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., and the film begins at 6:30 p.m. Admission is free for all ages.
Following the 45-minute documentary, director Davey Schaupp will lead a panel discussion with local housing advocates, offering insights into the policies and initiatives shaping housing solutions for older adults in our region.
This event is part of the Museum’s current exhibit, Housing in Springfield and Beyond, which runs through June 2025, providing a deeper look into the history, challenges, and future of housing in our community.
Community members, policymakers, and advocates are encouraged to attend and join the conversation on how to support aging populations in securing stable housing.
