Senior Assistance Programs
The Senior Network
The Senior Network finds and fulfills the needs of senior citizens of all backgrounds and walks of life. Many seniors, even those with family nearby, are unable to find assistance with various tasks. More times than not, they are left unable to enjoy various aspects of their lives, due to a lack of support from their local community. The Senior Network is ready to step in and help fulfill the need. Even if that need is simply senior community or a sense of fellowship, we are waiting with arms wide open.

Specifically, the programs are available to low-income seniors, disabled homeowners and disabled veterans. The original deadline to apply was June 1, 2024.
