What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

Demand for senior housing is accelerating due to aging baby boomers. Welltower, as industry leader, has acquired $20 billion in properties since 2020. Only 191,000 new units will be added by 2030, falling short of 564,000 needed. High interest rates and construction delays hinder new senior housing development. Most markets are over 80% occupancy, indicating urgency in housing supply.
