This article will focus on perceptions about the health of tenants at an independent‐living residence for indigent elderly and disabled people. At this site tenants often resisted aid provided, which was a marked contrast to their caregiver's moral and legal imperative to help. This “caregiver's dilemma” will be explored within the shifting perspectives of older adults with low social and economic positions. In this diverse setting social workers engaged in caregiving practices to address social and economic inequalities. Ultimately, regulations designed to alleviate inequality created a framework to judge tenants on multiple fronts to foster and maintain their wellbeing. Under these conditions, interpretations of tenants’ behaviours toward care practices created boundaries with tensions embroiled in larger issues surrounding ethnic, linguistic, and social difference. By exploring these boundaries this research aims to address the growing complexity of affordable housing in the United States as the population‐at‐large continues to diversify.

搬迁：位于纽约布鲁克林的老年经济适用房设施的寿命终止决策

本文将重点介绍对贫困老年人和残疾人的独立居住住宅中房客健康的看法。在此场所，租户经常拒绝提供援助，这与他们的照护者在道德和法律上的要求有所不同。这种“看护者的困境”将在社会和经济地位低下的老年人不断变化的视角中进行探讨。在这种多样化的环境中，社会工作者从事护理工作以解决社会和经济不平等问题。最终，旨在减轻不平等现象的法规创造了一个框架，可以从多个方面对租户进行判断，以促进和维持其福祉。在这种情况下，对房客对护理习惯行为的解释造成了界限，而紧张局势则卷入了围绕种族，语言和社会差异。通过探索这些界限，本研究旨在解决随着人口不断多样化，美国经济适用房日益复杂的问题。
