Housing at Curry Senior Center
With the Bay Area’s many housing challenges Curry’s staff remains hard at work helping clients, in multiple languages, to find housing opportunities and resources.
Housing
Housing is one of the most important forms of healthcare for our seniors.
Curry Senior Center owns and manages an adjacent 13 studio apartment building for seniors who were once homeless. Curry’s onsite resident manager and transitional case manager help residents achieve the highest level of self-sufficiency and independence they can to engage/re-engage with their community.
While many seniors have been housed temporarily during the coronavirus pandemic through the City’s Project Roomkey, Curry’s advocacy is needed to guarantee seniors transition to permanent housing and not a return to shelters or the streets. Curry also presses for additional subsidized housing for homeless seniors at nearby Single Room Occupancy hotels, such as The Cadillac, where residents receive health and wellness care from a Curry registered nurse.
