Among its many duties serving older adults in Massachusetts' MetroWest region, BayPath Elder Services, Inc., manages the daily operations of the region's Supportive Housing Initiative in Marlborough, MA. The supportive housing model combines housing with coordinated on-site services for older adults and people with disabilities. Developed by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs and the Department of Housing and Community Development, this supportive housing model approximates service-intensive assisted living in a public housing setting, as described in this case example report.
