I am moving to a smaller home near my adult children. Is there any information that can help me with "downsizing" and moving my household?

There are many factors to consider when moving to a different home. Allowing plenty of time for planning and making decisions about your possessions will make the move easier. A good publication,  Housing As We Grow Older: Moving to Smaller, More Efficient Housing, offers ideas to consider before and after the move.
