B’nai B’rith has long recognized the desperate need for safe, affordable housing for low-income seniors. Since 1971, B’nai B’rith has been a leader in senior housing and aging issues. As aging experts, our advice and counsel is sought on the global level. We have transformed the knowledge we have gleaned from our senior housing efforts and applied it to the legislative arena, keeping regular oversight on legislation that may impact the unique situation of the elderly in the United States and around the world.
We also bring our expertise on aging matters directly to the managers and residents of our senior housing facilities, teaching classes on such topics as fraud prevention and hosting anti-bullying campaigns. |
This year the annual Senior Services Managers/Service Coordinators training meeting was held June 8-10 in Portland, Ore. Bank of the West provided funding to train staff of the B’nai B’rith Center for Senior Housing Network, as well as local nonprofits in the city of Portland. on how to create programming for residents on how to avoid being a victim of scams, as well as training staff to recognize a scam and assist a resident who may have been the victim of a scam. Additionally, sessions included a video chat with residents of B’nai B’rith Homecrest House in Maryland about the Residents Association, Department of Housing and Urban Development technical training and creating community partnerships.
