Most families exploring multigenerational living know they want to live together. What stops them is not the desire. It is the thousand practical questions nobody hands you a roadmap for.
Whose name goes on the mortgage? How do you finance an ADU? What floor plan actually gives everyone enough space and enough privacy? How do you have the conversations about money, caregiving, and what happens if things change?
Juli Ford has been working in housing since 1999 — first in affordable housing, where she spent two decades understanding how families build stability and security through where they live, and for the past nine years directly helping families navigate real estate, multigenerational living, and life transitions through her work as a broker, advisor, and founder of Home After 50™.
The guides below were built from eleven years of living multigenerationally herself and from the real conversations Juli has had in her professional life supporting families navigating this decision from every angle. More than 10,000 families have already found their way to these resources, and through her rapidly growing platform — now reaching over 200,000 families nationwide. New guides, workshops, and resources are added regularly.

How families actually finance multigenerational living.
Money is where most multigenerational conversations stall. This guide covers nine financing paths — from conventional mortgages and FHA loans to HELOCs, reverse mortgages, intra-family loans, and ADU construction financing. It walks through what to look for in a home, what questions to bring to your lender, and how Juli's own family used multigenerational living to build financial security across generations.
