The problem

Affordable senior housing shouldn’t be this hard.

Finding the right apartment is only the beginning.

Families often have to search dozens of websites, understand complicated eligibility requirements, call individual properties, figure out which waitlists are open, gather documents, complete different applications, and repeatedly follow up.

Orange Nests handles the work end-to-end—not just the search.

“Where do I even start?”

Why we built Orange Nests

Inspired by our own family’s experience.

When we needed to find affordable senior housing for a parent, we discovered how fragmented the process was.

The information existed—but it was scattered across government websites, housing authorities, property websites, PDFs, phone calls, and individual applications.

Finding a property was only the first step. Then came eligibility questions, phone calls, waitlists, paperwork, applications, and follow-ups.

We built Orange Nests to make that entire journey simpler for other families.

What is affordable senior housing?+

Affordable senior housing generally refers to privately-owned properties designed to make rent more affordable for older adults who meet the property’s eligibility requirements. Requirements vary by property.
