One Year.................... $ 7.00 Two Years $13.00 Senior Citizen Housing Needed It appears that there is a great deal of enthusiasm among Nyssa senior citizens for the proposed apartment complex soon to be built in this community. A group of 24 citizens from Nyssa journeyed to Bend last week to view a complex similar to the one planned here, and returned home enthused with every part of the operation. This type of project is catching on all over the country, and fills a real need for older persons, particularly those who are single. There are still some "its" before the project becomes a reality, mainly in the area of financing. Fortunately, the Hammond Development Corporation seems to have the know-how. and has built several of these projects. Their recent survey indicates that the need is here, and that many have indicated a desire to live in the project. The Farmer's Home Administration (FmHA) is administered by the Federal Government. and must have these assurances before a loan is made. Completion of this 40-unit apartment will have quite an impact on Nyssa. Just the fact that many single persons will offer their homes for sale will start a round-robin of movement as others upgrade their housing, and create vacancies for still others seeking homes. Older persons, and particularly widows, have found that trying to maintain their homes is becoming increasingly difficult. Mowing lawns, trimming shrubs, housework and general maintenance, have all become time consuming and expensive. Their homes need the occupancy of growing families, not single persons. And they need the companionship and security that is offered in the senior citizen community. Apparently the living offered older persons in the Greenwood Manor in Bend, and elsewhere, fills a real community need. It becomes obvious that this need exists in Nyssa. Perhaps it will soon be met.
