The Research Roundtable is made up of a group of housing professionals and researchers interested in applied research in the housing setting.  In the year since the Research Roundtable had met, a lot had happened.  CHAPA (Citizens Housing and Planning Organization) received a grant from The Boston Foundation which included funds to survey housing providers statewide to see if there was a correlation between successful aging in place and services.  Many sites responded that they had little or no documentation, and some are collecting meaningful information on an on-going basis.  An Excel spreadsheet has been designed as a tool to collect this data, including formulas that calculate age at move out and length of stay.  More information to follow.
