Based upon the records of
the Center, a minimum of
2500 elderly residents of the
Model neighborhood are in
desperate

of the
Center's serv ices.
The impart of this pro
gram is multifold

for those 1900 to 2300 elderly
seniors who cannot afford to
pay for these services, the
Senior Adult Service Center
is a lifeline.
In a society
which is making progress
toward reducing economic
poverty (defined in money
terms, as opposed to cul
tural. moral, spiritual pov
erty». one strategy for bol
stering the incomes of the
poor is to improve the avail
ability and quality of public
and private services.
Such
services enable the under
privileged to gain informs
tion and skills that help them
to use their incomes more
efficiently Such services are
also necessary to assure
ready access to the basic
amenities of life. Secondly,
this program employs a total
of 34 persons. 30 of whom
are retired senior citizens.
There are 25 part time em
ployees who work 2(1 hours
per week for $2.00 per hour.
This increases or augments
their marginal income within

The
average age of the staff is 64
