Serving Seniors – Potiker Residence

Basic Information

Organization and Responsibilities Description

The Potiker Family Residence provides a home for low-income seniors who have had a history of financial instability, transiency, and in some cases, homelessness. The support programs located within the residence provide the safety net services needed to assist the most at-risk residents in maintaining stability and independence.

The Potiker Family Senior Residence has been named as one of the nation's five best practice models by the Shelter Partnership.
