In Argentina, local and provincial authorities are implementing new initiatives to support the elderly population through specialized housing and social services.

In Ranchos, Buenos Aires province, the Ministry of Habitat and Urban Development has launched a project under the Plan Buenos Aires Hábitat to construct 12 accessible apartments. These units are designed to promote autonomous living and active aging by removing architectural barriers.

In Rosario, the municipality is introducing Casa Grande, a transit shelter in the Matheu neighborhood. Part of the Plan Mil65, this facility is intended to support up to 20 vulnerable men over the age of 60 who lack pensions or social security. The program aims to combat social isolation and indigence by providing housing alongside workshops, training, and recreational activities.
