Because Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) serve older adults across the socioeconomic spectrum and all older adults in the United States have access to AAA programs that support maintaining community-based living, they are well-positioned to address housing challenges. However, little is known about the implementation of these programs, limiting the adoption of practices across the AAA network. Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), this study aims to identify facilitators and barriers to implementing a shallow rental subsidy program at an AAA.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Research Design and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We used a sequential mixed-methods implementation science design. Quantitative data were collected from AAA staff through a survey, and qualitative data were collected through focus groups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Barriers and facilitators were identified across the 11 constructs within the CFIR inner-setting domain. Facilitators to implementation included the AAA\u2019s client-centered culture and structural characteristics (e.g., having an established Housing Assistance Program). Barriers to implementation included incompatibility with case manager workloads and a short timeframe that created confusion about the program.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion and Implications<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings highlight opportunities for AAAs to implement shallow rental subsidy programs. Having an existing housing team structure is a facilitator for implementing new housing-related programs (e.g., shallow subsidies). Additionally, clear, targeted communication about the rationale for program elements and adequate time for referral, screening, and enrollment are essential for successful implementation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/geroni\/igag015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]],"date-time":"2026-02-06T12:44:46Z","timestamp":1770381886000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Barriers and facilitators of implementing a shallow rental subsidy program at an area agency on aging"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1184-1986","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katie Hoops","family":"Calhoun","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Social Work, Ohio State University , Columbus, Ohio,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Age-Friendly Innovation Center, Ohio State University , Columbus, Ohio,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-0704-034X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anthony","family":"Traver","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Age-Friendly Innovation Center, Ohio State University , Columbus, Ohio,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"College of Social Work, University of Kentucky , Lexington, Kentucky,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Marisa","family":"Sheldon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Social Work, Ohio State University , Columbus, Ohio,","place":["United States"]},{"name":"Age-Friendly Innovation Center, Ohio State University , Columbus, Ohio,","place":["United States"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026041703565327900_igag015-B1","volume-title":"Worst case housing needs: 2023 report to Congress","author":"Alvarez","year":"2023"},{"key":"2026041703565327900_igag015-B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"207","DOI":"10.1177\/0733464813505702","article-title":"Everyone\u2019s talking about it, but does it work?
