The number of homeless seniors is growing at an alarming rate, according to a report by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Officer of the Inspector General. Americans over the age of 55 years old who are homeless were counted at 580K, 18% of the total. “There’s been a trend over the last several years where we’re seeing many more older adults,” who are homeless, Richard Cho, HUD’s senior advisor for housing and services, told AARP Bulletin. From 2000 through 2017, the number of people 62 years and older who are homeless has doubled, he noted. For the full report, go to www.aarp.org/homelessafter50

AARP has been great about tracking the latest scams tracking senior citizens, but a surprising number of people continue to fall for scams, mostly pitched over the phone. First, I have a practice of using caller ID and won’t pick up the phone if I don’t recognize the caller. This can screen out a lot of the potential scammers. AARP says that historically fraud operators have tried to get your money in one of four ways—gift cards, wire transfers, cyber currency or cash. These are all untraceable once you send them. However, AARP says a fifth form of payment is on the rise, peer-to-peer (P2P) money transfer services like CashApp, Venmo or Zelle. Beware of anyone asking you to send money using these apps.
