Establish a Senior Center in City Heights

In order to effectively engage and address the needs of the aging population, it is critical that the expertise of multipurpose senior centers be fully tapped to leverage resources and partnerships to achieve the goals of the Older Americans Act in communities across the nation. (National Council on Aging) Seniors in the City Heights do not have a place to gather for health and wellness programs, socializing, intercultural and intergenerational activities, educational opportunities or community resource counseling. There are many senior centers in the city of San Diego, but none in City Heights, where these services are sorely needed.
