Tom Egan - How Do We Continue to Provide Affordable Housing for Seniors?
In this episode of Boomer Living, we have Tom Egan. He provides overall executive leadership for FSL [Foundation for Senior Living], oversees the day-to-day operations, provides fiduciary oversight, and is actively involved in fund development. Tom promotes greater awareness of FSL within the community and guides the vision and strategic direction for FSL.
We discuss why he started FSL, his focus on clients and their caregivers, one-on-one customized care, the state of affordable housing, the effect of the pandemic on affordable housing, and much more...
[00:00] Affordable housing, particularly for seniors is a challenge.
[01:22] Introduction
[02:14] Why did you start FSL, Foundation for Senior Living? And what problem did you see that you set out to solve?
[03:01] Why do you choose to focus on the clients as well as their caregivers?
[03:47] How are you able to provide one-on-one customized care at scale?
[07:49] Can you tell us a bit about the state of affordable senior housing in Arizona?
[08:46] How is Arizona different from affordable housing on a national level?
[10:21] What more needs to be done to ensure everyone has access to affordable senior housing?
[10:58] What effect is the pandemic having on affordable housing?
[12:10] Are any of these changes, part of a larger trend that's likely to continue even after the pandemic is gone?
[14:02] Why is it important to you to focus on the poor and the vulnerable people?
[15:08] People often think these problems that we're facing, systemic and too big for one person to make a difference. What would you say to someone like that to motivate them, to make the changes that are so necessary in our world?
[16:43] On a personal level, what do you think is your biggest strength that enables you to have a unique, impactful effect on older adults?
[17:33] Do you think working closely with older adults changed you in any way?
[19:09] Would you like to share anything about affordable senior housing? Do you have any last thoughts?
[20:24] Parting words of wisdom and wrap-up.
Tom Egan has 20 years of experience in non-profit organizations, including 16 years of nonprofit management experience and he holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy.
