Housing Counselors
Housing Counselors, funded by the Office of Housing and Community Development, work at three senior centers: Philadelphia Senior Center, Journey's Way and Center in the Park. These counselors commonly provide assistance with senior housing inquiries, but recently have received weekly training on foreclosures to enable them to handle the many questions received on this topic. The Senior Collaborative hosted a health and information fair in Cobb's Creek at the end of April with a panel on housing issues.
In addition, all senior centers have staff trained about housing to answer general questions.
