Causes: Homeless & Housing, Low-Income & Subsidized Rental Housing
Mission: Hud subsidized affordable housing with supportive services for low income seniors who meet the income eligibility requirements of the hud 202 section 8 program. Seniorcare network manages this community and provides or assists in the provision of services to meet individual resident needs. Typically,even though this community is a supportive housing facility, between 50-70% of our residents ae considered frail or at risk. To address these issues and the needs of those residing in this community, we employ a service coordinator to work with each resident as appropriate. The service coordinator assesses the needs of each resident and makes referrals to appropriate resources, such as families, senior centers, churches and other community groups. Seniorcare network is an affiliate of presbyterian seniorcare, a not-for-profit, charitable organization established on january 25, 1928 which provides facilities, services and programs for enhancing the quality of life of older adults.
Programs: Community provides affordable supportive housing for persons with developmental disabilities who meet the income eligibility requirements of the hud section 811 program. 100% of the 11 residents meet these guidelines.

In addition, there is also a focus on prevention through education, health screenings, and wellness and activity programs to support the health of the community.
