To the Chairman and the
Ranking Minority Member
Special Committee on Aging 51 _
United States Senate

     Subject: The jotential Need for and Cost of Congregate
               Rousing for Older PeopleJ (HRD-808)

     In the Committee's August 21, 1978, letter and subsequent
meetings with your office, we were asked to provide informa-
tion concerning two main items: (1) the well-being of older
people, their need for services, and the cost of providing
those services for older people living in various settings,
including public housing, congregate housing, and institu-
tions and (2) the well-being of older people living in urban
and rural areas. We are presenting the information on the
first item in question and answer format, as agreed with
your office. Our analysis of the well-being of older people
living in urban and rural areas is currently in process and
we plan to brief the Committee on the results of our analysis
when it is completed.

     The information contained in this report is based on our
study of the personal conditions of older people in Cleveland,
Ohio. A description of the data gathering and analytical
methodology used in our study is contained in enclosure II.
On the basis of this study, we issued three other reports:
(1) The Well-Being of Older People in Cleveland, Ohio
(HRD-77-70, Apr. 19, 1977), (2) Conditions of Older People:
National Information System Needed (HR15-79-95, Sept. 20,
1979), and (3) Home Health--The Need for a National Policy
to Better Provide for the Elderly (HRD-78-19, Dec. 30, 1977).

      In summary, our review shows:

      --Overall, older people living in public housing were
 Qdefined as having worse personal conditions than those
        living in private housing.
