This educational workshop explores how adults age 55+ and their families can use home equity—particularly through reverse mortgage programs—as a tool to support financial stability, healthcare needs, and aging in place. Participants will learn how these programs work, including eligibility, consumer protections, and common misconceptions, and how they can be used to supplement retirement income, eliminate mortgage payments, and provide flexible funds for future expenses such as home modifications or medical care. Designed as a non-sales, informational session, the course is also valuable for caregivers and professionals supporting long-term financial and housing decisions.
