Abstract
Social service use and need were assessed for two groups of older persons living in an urban core area being markedly changed through redevelopment. Pre and post measures of service use and need were compared for those forced to move and a matched comparison group not forced to move. Through time, the comparison group of non-movers experienced an increased need for services as both public and private redevelopment and gentrification inflated rents and eroded the informal service base of the larger neighborhood.Keywords
